Effect of Treated Grey water in Concrete

Abstract

CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions from the production of Portland Cement, which is used in concrete, amount 2.5 billion tonnes globally. Furthermore, one of the most water-intensive sectors is concrete. Water is undeniably crucial in civil engineering, and there are now no viable alternatives. According to various concrete standards, chemical water limits for concrete advise that non-potable water can be used as mixing water. Grey water, for example, might be repurposed to relieve strain on fresh water supplies. The goal of this research is to find out how the usage of grey water affects the quality of concrete. To boost the strength of the concrete, a M 40 concrete mix was mixed with silica fume. The impact of treated grey water and tap water samples on concrete strength is then assessed.
