Abstract: This paper presents the result of an experimental study performed to investigate the effects of partial replacement of cement with tannery sludge mixture. The experiment deals with the compressive strength of concrete using tannery sludge mixture at different proportions. The resulting strength is compared with the concrete made up of 100% OPC i.e. control cube. The results obtained from compression tests are analyzed to identify the optimum proportion of tannery sludge mixture that can be replaced with cement to achieve the determined strength of the concrete. Many trails have been carried out and we have seen that the strength of concrete has successfully proved to increase in proportion to the sludge added. The highest strength is seen for 25% of sludge replaced for cement. Hence, from this investigation the partial replacement of cement by tannery sludge can be confidently recommended for future study on tannery sludge as a proving partial replacement for cement for an economic material purchase as well as enhancement of conservation of resources.
