Reusing construction waste in producing new concrete can substantially reduce the disposal requirements of construction waste. In addition, this results in a sustainable solution for the rapidly depleting natural resources of concrete. Pervious concrete may contain up to 80% coarse aggregates and could be an exceptional host for reusing construction waste. This study aimed to investigate the mechanical properties of pervious concrete constructed with natural and recycled aggregates. The substandard properties of recycled aggregates were improved by adding natural fibers from sackcloth. This study presents an experimental program on 45 samples of pervious concrete with air void ratios and the size of coarse aggregates as the parameters of interest. The compressive strength of the pervious concrete decreased by increasing the air void ratio reg...

The amounts of oven-dry weight sludge about 200 g were collected in the light brow glass bottle with 2.5-l capacity. The fermentation of organic matters in sludge is the process to produce gases and being transferred to store in chamber by fluid displacement. The gases from sludge of oxidation pond was occurred on the second day and the maximum on the sixth day with the rate of 70 ml/d and average of 36.02 ml/d (total 360.23 ml for 10 days) while cassava factory sludge found the maximum volume on the first day with the rate of 142.6 ml/d and average of 72.2 ml/d (total 649.97 ml for 9 days). In other words, the oxidation pond sludge can produce gas 1.8 ml/g (oven dry weight) while the cassava factory sludge found gas 3.25 ml/g (oven dry weight). Research results found gases of oxidation pond sludge on the range of methane concentration between 545,686-9,560,606 ppm, hydrogen sulfide 55.94 to 360.27 ppm, and ammonia ND to 36.22 ppm, while the cassava factory sludge found methane gas concentration between 729,404 to 9,900,837 ppm, hydrogen sulfide 5,894 to 68,050 ppm, and ammonia ND to 44.15 ppm.

The results found that pH value did not evidently show any change of influent to effluent among grass species but drastic change due to treatment efficiency in Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKD), Total Phosphorus (TP), and Total Potassium (TK) due to supporting rapidly growing of Star, Kallar, and Coast couch grasses, and also some parts of organic forms to escape from the VFCW technical units as volatile gaseous chemicals; and precipitating down to the VFCW technical unit beds as sludge. The Star and Coast couch grasses showed higher potential in community wastewater treatment efficiency than Kallar grass but treating power were not different in wide rang...
