Abstract

Paper sludge obtained from paper mill in Cavite was investigated for its effect on the mechanical properties, specifically split tensile strength, flexural strength and workability of concrete through different percent replacements (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%). Based on the results, the workability for split tensile strength test and flexural strength test samples decreased as the paper sludge content increased. LT5 for the split samples exhibited the highest split tensile strength while LF10 for the flexural strength samples gave the maximum flexural strength among the samples. For the split tensile test samples, no significant difference in strength was encountered between the control with LT5 up to LT15 while for the flexural strength test samples, only between the control and LF5 has no significant strength difference.
