Abstract

For a better sustainable progressive world, construction industry turned wider gradually. It is well known fact that cement concrete is main component of construction for our modern civilization. Now days, fly ash is used as the most potential replacement material in cement concrete, as production of cement very badly harm our environment. Reports show that one tonne cement produces one tonne carbon dioxide in our environment and responsible for global warming. After successive research work, it is proven that replacement of high volume fly ash (above 50%) which is pozzolanic in material (consists of siliceous and aluminous compounds) in cement paste helps to achieve high strength, porosity, heat of hydration, micro structure as well as very economical and eco-friendly against normal cement paste. This paper mainly highlights on the detailed study of rheological and strength properties of high volume fly ash concrete (50%-70% replacement of cement in various grades of fly ash mixed as per IS standards) in addition with various additives and melamine based admixture. In addition to this, other properties such as consistency, hardening and stiffening, workability, mechanical properties are studied. This overall study include experimental program on various concrete specimen with varied cementitious content along with admixtures.
