Effect Of Wood-ash As Partial Replacement For Cement On The Performance Of Concrete

Abstract

In This Paper “Effect Of Wood-Ash As Partial Replacement To Cement On Performance Of Concrete” Has Been Proposed For The Partial Replacement Of Cement Weight With Wood Ash. Portland Cement Is Used As A Binder In Concrete, But It Leads To The Emission Of A Vast Amount Of Greenhouse Gases. For This Work, Many Concrete Blocks By M30 Grade Of Concrete Were Prepared. Ordinary Portland Cement 43 Grade Was Adopted Throughout In Carrying Out The Present Investigation. The Size Of Each Cubeare 150x 150x 150 Mm. The Days Of Curing Were Selected As 7 Days, 14 Days And 28 Days Respectively. The Percentage Of WA Was Taken As 5%, 10% And 15% As The Partial Replacement Of Cement. Various Tests Were Carried Out On The Materials. For Cement The Physical Tests Were Conducted As A Consistency Test And Compressive Strength. And For Cement Chemical Tests Were Conducted As Insoluble Residue, Magnesia, Sulphuric Anhydride, Loss Of Ignition,
