A REVIEW “EVALUATION OF THE USE OF BOTTOM ASH AND POND ASH IN S-GLASS FIBRE CONCRETE”

Pond ash is the ash that is taken out of the ash ponds of thermal power plants that use coal as fuel. It has coarse particles that range in size from 300 microns to 1 mm. Restrictions placed on sand dredging are quickly causing a shortage of natural sand in many parts of India, which has had a significant impact on the construction industry. The building sector is looking for alternative aggregate that is more affordable than traditional fine aggregate. In addition to offering a practical solution to the shortage of sand and crushed stone, the use of pond ash to partially replace conventional fine aggregate in concrete mixes also lessens the environmental impact of coal ash disposal. The concrete will be tested at various ages (3,7, and 28 days) and was mixed with varying amounts of pond ash. Pond ash concrete’s results were contrasted with those of control concrete. Slump was kept constant at 100–120 mm for all dimensions. We’ll test a pond ash concrete’s property in both its fresh and hardened states. In this study, the partial substitution of sand with pond ash will be compared to normal concrete and the differences will be discussed.
