STRENGTH CHARACTERISTICS OF CONCRETE WITH WASHED BOTTOM ASH PARTIALLY REPLACED FOR FINE AGGREGATE

This paper was investigated on the possibilities of using Washed Bottom Ash (WBA) and its influence in mechanical properties of concrete. The experiment was done on normal strength concrete wit h grade chosen as M25. In order to find mechanical properties such as Compression, Splitting tension and flexure, Cubes, Cylinders and Prisms were cast respectively. Washed Bottom Ash was partially replaced for fine aggregate in percentages of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% by weight. The usage of WBA on normal strength concrete was showed considerable improvement in compression and flexural properties. All tests and discussions are elaborate d better.
