Contribution of Fly Ash in Conventional Concrete having Medium Strength

Abhay Mishra, Navdeep Agarwal

Abstract :

A fly ash is by product of coal combustion collected by electrostatic precipitator (ESP). Fly ash consist of silicon dioxide, iron oxide, magnesium oxide , aluminum oxide and calcium oxide forms a compound like Portland cement when added with lime and water. High volume of fly ash are used in concrete displacing the cement, its create more strong, durable products and reduces environmental impact. Due to lower water content cracking is reduced.

This research consists of check the workability of the mixture contains fly ash  with replacing the cements with different proportion and also check the compressive strength of concrete cube

This study is for exploring the feasibility of using compressive strength of concrete cube using fly ash in mixture of concrete in place of cement by examining its basic properties and durability characteristics fresh properties such as workability and the hardened properties like compressive strength. An widespread literature survey was oriented for exploring the present state of improving durability of concrete.
