Abstract
The aim of this article is to propose a two environmental problems solution. One is the silting up of dams, despite the expensive dredging operations and the absence of a policy for the reuse of dredged sludge stored on non-agricultural land. The other represents the rate of cement used in the concrete. The dredged sludge is introduced after heating treatment at 600 degrees C into the cement matrix of an ordinary concrete represents the proposed solution for both problems. In these eco-concretes, the cement has been replaced by treated dredged sludge at different percentages (5-10-20%) with a similar amount of water. Physical measurements and mechanical tests like shrinkage, absorption, and ultrasonic pulse velocity indicated dependence on substitution under dilution effect. Thermogravimetric analysis like the produced portlandite rate indicates a lack of reactive silica to supply the pozzolanic reaction. The results reveal that the substitution of 5% of cement by treated sludge leads to an appropriate concrete and minimizes the siltation effect.Keywords
