USE WASTE MATERIAL OF SIKKA POWER PLANT- (MOUND ASH) IN CONCRETE REPLACEMENT AS FINE AGGREGATE

Abstract

The use of alternative aggregate is a natural step in solving part of depletion of natural aggregates. The
investigation on alternative material for concrete making started much before than half a century.
Use of hazardous waste in concrete making will lead to green environment & sustainable concrete technology, Concrete
made from mound ash (sikka thermal power plant waste) as fine aggregate will be studied for workability, compressive
strength, tensile strength and Flexural strength Further, study of its durability will ensure greater reliability in its usage. So
here in my project, I will use mound ash (sikka thermal power plant waste) as replacement of coarse aggregate by different
percentage for making concrete of different grade from lower to higher like M-20 and M-30, an. The percentage replacement
will be 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%,70% 80%, 90% and 100% with natural fine aggregates. I will use OPC-53
grade cement in making concrete with super plasticizer as an admixture to get proper wo rkability for higher strength
concrete.
