Abstract:

This experiment study is aimed to investigate the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of fly ash cement concrete for road construction. From research, it has been observed that the use of 30% of fly ash and 70% of cement possess a superior performance. Moreover, in construction, the use of fly ash would result in the reduction of the cost of materials and the reduction of greenhouse gas emission. High strength of concrete can be prepared and the incorporation of admixture or substitute to improve the properties of concrete. Test result of specimens indicates the bonding strength of properties, workability, and different reaction when the water ratio a change its content. Slump test having an appropriate workable mixing the slump of a concrete, gave sufficient compressive strength. Now a day’s concrete pavements are achieving popularity for its own good paving properties, as such consumption of cement is increased to a great. As cement demand increases, production also increases. Every ton of production of cement releases approximately 7% carbon dioxide to environment. In many industries, including power plants, coal is used as fuel. This generates tones of coal ash, which is very difficult to dispose off, which in turn causes pollution. Thus the production of cement and electricity contributes huge amount of carbon dioxide emissions and coal ash causing environmental pollution. Fly ash contains reactive constituents and unreactive crystalline matter. Reactive constituents reacts with lime and offers hydrated minerals to impart strength and un reactive matter gives packing effect to the concrete, filling up of pores and thus increases the strength. Here an attempt is being made to consume this pollution causing material to a utility by using it in concrete.
