Abstract:

Cement production gives rise to CO2emissions generated by the calcinations of CaCo3 and by the fossil, being responsible for about 5% of the Co2 emissions in the world. This can be substantially reduced if cement replacement materials such as a fly ash are used Within the frame work of a comprehensive research concerning this residual of coal industries, studied some durability characteristics of concretes made with Fly ash. In this project objective is to study the influence of partial replacement of Portland cement with fly ash in concrete subjected to different curing environments. Experimental investigation on acid resistance of concrete inmgso4 solution. The variable factors considered in this study were concrete grade of M35 & curing periods of 7days, 28days, 60days, 90days, 180 days of the concrete specimens in 1%, 3%, and 5% MgSO4 solution. Fly ash has been chemically & physically characterized & partially replaced in the ratio of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% by weight.
