Compressive strength and heavy metal leaching of concrete containing medical waste incineration ash

The results of the study showed that S/S method can able to prevent the heavy metals leachability of MWBA. The concrete compressive strength decreased with increasing MWBA ratio. The compressive strength was 38 MPa for 100% cement with 0% MWBA ratio. The compressive strength reduced to 11.3 MPa when 50% cement was mixed with 50% MWBA. The data obtained from experimental study was also evaluated statistically.
