Abstract:

Concrete is one of the composite material consisting of Coarse Aggregate, Fine aggregate, cement and water to cement ratio. All the components of the concrete are very important and affect the properties of the concrete at both fresh stage and hardened stage. Fresh properties of the cement and concrete such as setting time, heat of hydration, consistency and soundness. Various fresh properties of the concrete are Segregation, Bleeding, Hydration and Setting Time. There is great effect of type of water on the both properties of fresh and hardened concrete. There is greater requirement of large quantity of the water for the preparation of the concrete along with its curing. It is always not economical and technically feasible to provide fresh water at the construction site.Hence, waste water is used at the construction site for the preparation of the fresh concrete. Effect of the waste water on the physical properties of the cement and concrete are studied. It is found that there is improvement in the physical properties of the cement and concrete such as setting time, heat of hydration, consistency and soundness
