The Suitability of Recycled Domestic Wastewater in Plain Concrete Production. by Orishaba, James

“…Results indicated that the slumps for M10 concrete were between 38 and 42mm concrete mixed with fresh water having the same slump with that mixed with secondary treated wastewater, for M15 concrete were between 33.7 and 46, concrete mixed with fresh water having 4mm slump that that mixed with secondary treated wastewater, and for M20 concrete were 40.3 and 44, concrete mixed with fresh water having 0.7mm slump less than that mixed with secondary treated wastewater The compressive strength of concrete mixed with secondary treated wastewater was in close proximity with that produced with fresh water mixed concrete, that mixed and cured by fresh/portable water being slightly higher than that mixed and cured by treated wastewater but the difference was very small. …”

Investigation of the Properties of Fresh Concrete with Scoria as Coarse Aggregates. by Erugu, Pius

“…The equations relating yield stress, slump and setting time of concrete obtained by early researchers; Hu et al (1996), Ferraris and de Lerrard (1998) and Murata and Kikukawa (1992) will be compared in relation to the values of slump that will be obtained in my experimental findings and the suitable equation(s) for computing yield stress of concrete with scoria as coarse aggregates will be recommended.…”
