Abstract

The main source of fly ash is thermal power plants where the coal burns for the production of electricity. For experimental analysis, fly ash from three different sources (Source-1 from NTPC Korba; Source-2, Balco Korba and Source-3 Lanco Amarkantak) were collected and their physical and chemical properties were compared as per Indian standard code. After their comparison, it was found that this fly ash can be used for construction. Now from each source, three mixes of M-30 Grade were made by replacing cement with fly ash in 20%, 30% and 40%. Analysis and comparison of all the mixes of each source were then done with the normal concrete of M-30 grade (Using OPC 53-grade cement). Mix design calculation as per the empirical formula of IS Code 10262 and IS Code 456: 2000.
