Abstract

Abstract. White Portland cement (WPC) in Indonesia is generally used for architectural work. WPC is still rarely used in structural concrete because the price is relatively higher than grey cement. This research reviewed the compressive strength of concrete using WPC and compared it with concrete using grey cement. Compressive strength testing of concrete using WPC and grey cement was carried out at ages: 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. From the research, the compressive strength of concrete using WPC was 13.81 MPa (60%) at 3 days, 16.68 MPa (72%) at 7 days, 19.45 MPa (84%) at 14 days, 22.34 MPa (97%) at 21 days, and 23.11 MPa (100%) at 28 days. The compressive strength of concrete using grey cement was 13.03 MPa (63%) at 3 days, 15.11 MPa (74%) at 7 days, 17.22 MPa (84%) at 14 days, 18.78 MPa (91%) at 21 days, and 20.54 MPa (100%) at 28 days. The compressive strength of concrete using WPC is higher than grey cement at all ages. The rate of compressive strength of concrete using WPC is almost the same as grey cement at all ages.

Abstract

The concrete industry is one of the industries that uses large volumes of water. Water is used for the cement reaction process and for cleaning equipment. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are used to restore water quality before being released into the environment. This study was conducted to determine the suitability of treated wastewater for reuse in concrete production. Using WWTP water as a cement reagent is important for conserving groundwater and supporting the sustainability of the ready-mix concrete industry. Previous research has shown that the disadvantage of using treated wastewater in ready-mix concrete is low initial compressive strength. A practical way to increase initial compressive strength is to use an accelerator. Research is needed to increase initial compressive strength for several concrete grades. The use of water as a cement reagent requires certain quality standards, and the higher the planned concrete quality, the better the water quality required, approaching or equivalent to potable water. The study was conducted on two concrete grades to determine the effect of using wastewater treatment for ready-mix concrete on the properties of the resulting concrete. The concrete's compressive strength was tested using a standard test, using a cylinder with a diameter of 150 mm and a height of 300 mm, and workability was tested using an Abrahms cone. Previous research has shown that the use of treated wastewater affects the speed of the concrete hardening process. Therefore, in this study, an accelerator, an additive, was used to accelerate the cement reaction. The results of the study showed that the accelerator added material increased the quality of 20 MPa concrete by 114.452%, 112.091%, 105.671%, and 103.351% compared to concrete with normal water and increased the quality of 25 MPa concrete by 103.909%, 103.442%, 105.940%, and 108.756% compared to concrete with normal water. The rate of increase in the compressive strength of concrete with wastewater without accelerator and using accelerator can meet the requirements.
