Investigation on Utilization of Medical Waste Ash in Concrete

Abstract

There is a major problem in India for generation of biomedical waste from health care units, research laboratories, clinics and other medical sources. Generation of waste adversely affect the whole environment for human being. Therefore Utilization of medical waste ash is a challenging work for all over India. Some researches revealed the scope for the use of medical waste ash in concrete as partly replacing of cement. In this paper the study describes the workability, density and compressive strength of concrete after partly replacing of cement with medical waste ash. Keyword: Medical waste, ash, concrete, coarse, aggregate, workability.
