Abstract - This study investigates the improved qualities of concrete that result from partially substituting locally accessible ashes for some of the traditional cement and adding Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC). The study looks into how this unique blend affects the mechanical and structural properties of concrete with the goal of advancing economical and environmentally friendly building techniques. The study assesses the effects of different amounts of locally obtained ashes on the workability, durability, and compressive strength of the concrete by thoroughly examining the mix design. It is expected that the use of PPC will augment the pozzolanic reactivity, thus improving the concrete mixture's overall performance. To promote information sharing among researchers, engineers, and industry experts, recitation sessions will be held to share the ideas and findings from this study. This study intends to optimise concrete compositions for improved structural integrity and decreased environmental effect, in line with sustainable construction practises, in addition to addressing the environmental consequences of using locally accessible ashes.

Key Words:  Concrete, Locally Accessible Ashes, Portland Pozzolana Cement, Workability, Durability, and Compressive strength.
