Abstract
In this communication, the author briefly presented results of experiments, conducted to evaluate the suitabilities of some solid wastes in cement-based applications. The fly and bottom ash from municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) plants and plastic wastes generated in municipality along with a lead slag were considered. The MSWI fly ash was considered as a raw material in cement clinker production. The MSWI bottom ash as such cannot be considered as replacement of sand in mortar. Treatment of such ash was done to remove impurities like aluminium, sulphate and organics. The replacement of 25 volume per cents of sand by lead slag can improve various properties of cement mortar. Leaching of negligible amounts of toxic elements from waste cement-based composites indicated their environmental suitabilities. The replacement of natural aggregate by plastic waste aggregates over 10 volume per cent deteriorated the strength and other mechanical properties but improved abrasion and toughness behaviours of resulting concrete.
