IGNEOUS CONCRETE UTILIZING VOLCANIC ASH

Abstract

Green concrete is the latest development in the field of construction technology which offers a sustainable and eco-friendly solution as a building material. The cement used in conventional concrete is responsible for releasing high amount of carbon dioxide which is harmful for the environment. The concept of green concrete renders replacement of cement partially or fully by various materials which are either byproducts in the production process of other materials or recycled waste. In this paper we focuses on replacing a different percentage of the cement with pozzolanic materials and also replacing the coarse and fine aggregate with locally volcanic materials to produce an eco-friendly and sustainable concrete. Thus, Four trail mixes were casted for estimating the concrete materials and proportion, also fifteen mixes were casted with some variables .
