Report on use of textile sludge in concrete

The mechanical behavior of polymer concrete reinforced with textile residues was investigated. Two series of polymer concrete formulations were studied, with different resin / sand weight ratios (ie binder / fine aggregate). In each series, recycled textile fiber was used at 1 and 2% of the total weight. The flexural and compression tests were performed at room temperature and the load curves. Displacement were represented until failure. The study considered both the influence of the fiber content and the weight / resin / sand ratio in relation to the behavior of polymeric concrete reinforced with textile fibers. A decrease in properties was observed as a function of the content of textile fibers. When the specific properties were considered, this trend was maintained. However, a higher content of textile fibers leads to a smoother failure, unlike the brittle failure behavior of non-reinforced polymer concrete.
Textile waste cuttings are mixed with cement as a binder to produce a single type of composite material that resembles concrete but can be cut or nailed like wood. It exhibits certain physical and mechanical characteristics that indicate its potential for lightweight low-cost construction. The composite material is produced from a mixture of textile waste, cement and water. Textile trimmings are taken from the garments of a garment manufacturer and a textile manufacturer. These are cut in average lengths of 2 cm. Y 6 cm., And mixed with portland cement in textile-cement ratio of 1: 3, 1: 4 and 1: 5 by weight. Water is added in amounts corresponding to water-cement ratios ranging from 0.53 to 0.85. The blend combinations produce 18 blends and, with 3 blends per blend, a total of 54 samples. Experimental blocks with dimensions of 9.5 cm. × 14.5 cm. With a thickness that oscillates between 1.3 and 2.0 cm. They are made and tested for flexion, 1.5 cm. × 5.5 cm. × 22.5 cm. Stress blocks, while cubes 5 cm. × 5 cm. × 5 cm. They are used for compression tests. Samples are cured by immersion in water for 8 days, then assayed at age 28 to 30 days. The tests are performed in accordance with standard ASTM procedures for testing concrete products. The test data show that the effect of the water-cement ratio and fiber-cement ratio on the developed resistance follows the behavior of the concrete. However, unlike concrete, samples tested for compression do not exhibit a sudden fragile fracture even beyond the failure load, indicating their high energy absorption capacity. Despite the high flammability of textile waste, the composite material shows no evidence of combustion when subjected to open flame for 30 minutes. The laboratory test result indicates a lighter construction material than rugged concrete with several potential roofing applications, Walls, wood board substitute, or as an economical alternative concrete block.
