Abstract
The use of paper-mill residuals in concrete formulations provides an alternative to landfill disposal. A response surface statistical methodology was carried out to model the influence on the slump and compressive strength of concrete containing paper-mill residuals with and without Class F fly ash replacement. The variables considered in this study included the water/cement ratio (w/c), paper-mill residual content and fly ash content to total cementitious material (FA/CM). The performance of the derived models to achieve good balance between the workability and compressive strength were further discussed by using the contour diagrams. The results showed that the compressive strength of concrete containing paper-mill residuals could be predicted from the referred slump value. � 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
