Cost and Strength Analysis of Normal and High Volume Fly Ash Concrete

With the growing urbanisation and development the demand of concrete does not seem to go dormant in the future so it is essential that we find some environment friendly replacement like Fly Ash for its constituents like cement. In this present study first of all the need, scope and advantages of using High Volume Fly Ash Concrete is discussed .The existing records of use of Fly Ash in concrete is followed by the tests conducted on Aggregates like Sieve Analysis, Impact Value etc. After that comes experimental programme which includes tests done on concrete samples casted in the study in which cement is replaced by Fly Ash in different percentages and the strength characteristics of High Volume Fly Ash Concrete is checked. Last portion of this study deals with the various results obtained and interpretations are made regarding the cost of the various concrete mix used in the study and conclusion are drawn.
