Abstract - The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance
of concrete using bottom ash. Concrete is the most extensively COLLECTION OF MATERIALS
used construction material in construction industry. The
addition of industrial by-products as supplementary
cementitious materials has dramatically increased along with INITIAL TESTING OF
the development of concrete industry, due to the consideration MATERIALS
of cost saving, energy saving, environmental protection and TRIAL MIX
conservation of resources. The environmental concerns both in DESIGN
terms of damage caused by the extraction of raw materials and
carbon dioxide emission during cement manufacture have
brought pressures to reduce cement consumption by the use of
industrial by-products. This study includes the physical and RESULTS OF

1. INTRODUCTION CASTING AND CURING
Concrete is the most extensively used material in civil

engineering construction so that considerable attention is
taken for serviceability of the structure depended upon the TEST
properties of concrete with respect to strength and ONCUBECUBECO
durability. India's total installed capacity of cement stood at NCRETE
320 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). Carbon
concentration in cement spans from approximately 5% in
cement structures to 8% in the case of roads in cement. The
cement industry produces about 5% of global man-made
CO2 emissions, of which 50% is from the chemical process, STRENGTH DURABILITY
and 40% from burning fuel. The amount of CO2 emitted by STUDIES STUDIES
the cement industry is nearly 900 kg of CO2 for every 1000
kg of cement produced. Industrial waste like fly-ash which is
dumping to creating environmental problems, is mainly used
as a building material due to its low cost and easy availability
and its adoption will enable the concrete construction CONCLUSION

The concrete cubes of size 15 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm were cast by using conventional concrete. The specimens were de-moulded
after 1 day and immersed in water for 7, 28 days for curing. After 7 and 28 days concrete cubes were tested as per IS 516 –
1956. The test was conducted in compression testing machine.
The load was applied at the rate of approximately 140 kg/cm2/min until the failure of the specimen. The maximum load
applied to the specimen until the failure was recorded
