Silica fume is an ultrafine powder collected as a by-product of the silicon and ferrosilicon alloy
production and consists of spherical particles with an average particle diameter of 150 nm. The
main field of application is as pozzolanic material for concrete. Silica fume is added to cement
accordingly in the range of 5-20% by weight for M30 mix to determine compression test, split
tensile test, flexural test.

INTRODUCTION
The use of river sand as fine aggregate leads to exploitation of natural resources,
lowering of water table, sinking of bridge piers and erosion of river bed.
If fine aggregate is replaced by by specific percentage and in specific size range, it will
decrease fine aggregate content.
Cement is the mixture of calcareous, siliceous, argillaceous and other substances Cement
is used as a binding material in mortar and concrete.
BOTTOM ASH:
The use of river sand as fine aggregate leads to exploitation of natural resources,
lowering of water table, sinking of bridge piers and erosion of river bed. If fine aggregate is
replaced by was bottom ash by specific percentage and in specific size range, it will decrease
fine aggregate content and thereby reducing the ill effects of river dredging and thus making
concrete manufacturing industry sustainable. The most common type of coal-burning furnace in
the electric utility industry is the dry, bottom pulverized coal boiler. When pulverized coal is
burned in a dry, bottom boiler, about 80 percent of the unburned material or ash is entrained in
the flue gas and is captured and recovered as fly ash. The remaining 20 percent of the ash is dry
bottom ash, a dark gray, granular, porous, predominantly sand size minus 12.7mm ( in)
material that is collected in a water-filled hopper at the bottom of the furnace
Bottom ash is collected at the end of the grate in a Waste-to-Energy plant. Bottom ash is used in
road construction, as a foundation material, in noise barriers, as a capping layer on landfill sites
and in some countries as an aggregate in asphalt and concrete.
SILICA FUME:
Silica fume is generally known as micro-silica. It may be added directly to
concrete as an individual ingredient or in a blend of Portland cement. Silica Fume is a byproduct
of silicon alloys such as ferrochromium, ferromanganese, ferromagnesium, and calcium silicon.It
is collected during the reduction of high-purity quartz with coal in electric furnaces.
Silica fume improves the properties of fresh and hardened concrete.
