Effect of the paper industry residue on properties in the fresh mortar

Abstract

The problem of solid waste generation not only restricts construction, the industrial sector in general is a major contributor in this regard. Solid waste can be of domestic or industrial origin, hence arises a major problem, which are the quantitative generated. The objective of this study is the evaluation and characterization of the incorporation of waste from paper industry in mortars at different levels (0% 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%), according properties in the fresh state as consistency index, entrained air content and water retention. It can be said that levels from 20% incorporation in lime, mortar produce very workability.
