Incorporation Of Contaminated Sediment Into Environmentally Safe Concrete, Andrew Needs
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
The research performed through this project provided some interesting results on how the different properties of the contaminated sediment can impact the strength of the new concrete.
Average three, seven, and fourteen-day strengths increased when comparing to the baseline mix developed for the experiment. Increases in strengths were notices in the ten and twenty-five percent soil replacement mixes. The largest increase was approximately thirty-three percent greater than the baseline average.
The results from the forty percent replacement test showed a significant decrease in strengths when comparing against the baseline mix. A loss of about thirty percent was observed between the …
