Effect of R.O. waste water on properties of concrete

Abstract

This paper concentrates on preparing concrete in which reverse osmosis waste water is incorporated in mixing and to cure. Experimental procedure consists of 4 mix proportions of various water cement ratios. Fresh concrete is tested for workability and flowing ability. Cubes were casted and tested to find out compressive strength of concrete. Test results of potable water concrete and RO waste water concrete were compared. Results show that workability of both the concretes is almost same. When coming to the compressive strength, RO waste water concrete shows less strength at 28days compared to normal concrete.
