Assessment on Influence of Corncob Ash as a Partial Replacement of Cement in Concrete

Abstract

In an attempt to renovate waste product into constructive material for the building purpose, this research considered the use of corn cob ash (CCA) as a partial replacement of cement. Hence, in this research, we have proposed an eco-friendly solution by investigating the utilization of corncob ash with 0, 5, 10 and 15% replacement for cement in M30 grade of concrete Mechanical Properties such as compressive strength, Split tensile strength and Flexural strength at 7,14,28 days are examined in laboratory. The results reveal that Corn Cob Ash can be used as a partial replacement for cement which in turn reduces the emission of greenhouse gases.
