Abstract: Nowadays concrete is the most commonly used material in the field of construction. Due to the rapid growth of construction industry the demand for concrete is increasing drastically. Fly ash and pond ash are the byproducts formed at the thermal power plants during the combustion of pulverized coal. In this present study fly ash and pond ash are partially replaced for cement and sand respectively. Keeping the fly ash 20% constant the percentage of pond ash is varied from 15% to 20%.Compression test is done for cubes of cross section 150mmx150mmx150mm, Flexural strength test is done on beams of cross section 100mmx100mmx500mm. The curing period for cubes and beams is 28 days and 56 days.
Keywords: Compression, Flexural strength, Fly ash, Pond ash.
