Strength of Green Concrete

Abstract

The waste and by-products from industries, thermal plants, and recycled materials have been used historically in cement, concrete and other constructional activities. By-products such as fly ash ,bottomash, silica fume, etc., gains it sutilisation owing to their physical, chemical and engineering properties when used either by processing or directly on concrete. This paper was aimed in making concrete green and durable by utilization of bottomash as sand replacement material in concrete that can conserve river sand from exploitation and also prevents environmental pollution caused by bottom ash which is dumped in the form of slurry as ash ponds. Bottomash is replaced for river sand for that30%bottom ash can beneficially be added to the concretet produce 40–50 MP a without affecting the strength. The durability of bottom ash exhibited superior and better performance than reference concrete.
