TO MODERATE THE USAGE OF ORDINARY PORTLAND CEMENT AND FOUNDRY SAND AS FINE AGGREGATE

civil enggineering

A review study in sieve analysis, consistency, and water absorption, setting time and slump tests of wood ash added to ordinary Portland cement will produce significant results to accentuate the detailed study process. Uncontrolled burning of saw dust to form wood ash is used as a partial replacement of cement, thereby changing its physical and chemical properties. These properties are found somewhat similar to fly ash. Fly ash is already used in manufacturing of the bricks blocks and so many applications in the construction and the wood ash is always similar than fly ash. Waste of the wood is the great option as a fuel in the power production. It is decompose in nature but the problem of ash handling in power plant is still a major problem. So to reduce the wood ash a very little bit efforts in this work.
