Abstract
Concrete is a mixer of various materials. These materials include water, cement, and aggregates respectively. The making of cement produces enormousquantity of greenhouse emissions. There is a need to develop substitute materials for cement. It reduces both greenhouse emissions and the cost of concrete. In this work, an endeavor has been made to utilize wood-ash as a substitute material to cement. The effect of wood-ash as a alternative to cement on the performance of concrete has been studied. Wood is a sustainable source for energy and eco-amiable material. The cement has been replaced with wood ash by 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%, and studied for the performance of concrete. Results confirm that the wood-ash addition as a partial alternative to cement improves the overall performance of concrete.
