چکیده
Problems relating to disposal of sludge accumulating at waste-water treatment plants (WWTP) in Croatia are described in the paper. The possibility and adequacy of using ash obtained through incineration of sludge is considered. A special emphasis is placed on the significance of ash in concrete industry during production of cement mortar and concrete. Results of worldwide research conducted so far are described, with indications about the ways in which ash use influences properties of cement mortar and concrete.
