There was a serious water problem especially in the region close to the sewer treatment plants. Therefore, an effort
has been made to utilize the waste water from the sewer treatment plants for building purposes, so that the water
problem can be greatly minimized and the waste water can be properly disposed of for good environmental conservation.
Slabs in severe curing conditions performed by hospital waste water and sewer waste water.. This article
highlights an experimental analysis on the behavior of concrete foundations in severe curing conditions performed by
hospital waste water and sewer waste water. The experiment measured ultimate load, first crack load, load-deflection
behavior, stiffness and evaluated the crack pattern of twelve reinforced concrete slabs after curing the specimens
for 28 days. The results of the test indicate that the use of hospital and sewer waste water could reduce the strength,
stiffness and accelerate damage of tested slabs . Mechanical properties such as compressive strength, elastic modulus,
flexural strength, etc. were examined by pouring various concrete samples in the element of cubes, cylinders
and prisms, etc. and were concluded to be acceptable.
