An experimental investigation on strength characteristics of concrete using Wastepaper Sludge Ash (WPSA) (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This study explores an experimental investigation in finding the strength characteristics of the concrete made with the addition of (WPSA) as a cementious material. The WPSA has some sort of pozzolanic properties and is high in silica, magnesium and...
