This study is part of a comprehensive research project focused on exploring the integration of natural pozzolans into concrete production. It investigates how these materials enhance the physical properties and mechanical behavior of concrete, with a specific emphasis on improving economy, strength, and overall performance. Key objectives include evaluating workability and compressive strength through comparative tests across various concrete formulations. Special attention is given to analyzing the influence of the water-to-cement ratio and concrete age on compressive strength, particularly in comparing ordinary and lightweight concrete mixes. The findings indicate significant enhancements in concrete characteristics with the inclusion of natural pozzolans, particularly beneficial for applications prioritizing thermal insulation over high mechanical strength. This study provides valuable insights into optimizing concrete mix designs tailored to specific construction needs. Furthermore, the research underscores the potential environmental and economic benefits of incorporating natural pozzolans, promoting sustainable construction practices. By demonstrating the feasibility and advantages of these materials in concrete applications, this study contributes to advancing materials science and engineering solutions for resilient and efficient built environments.
