INTRODUCTION
Concrete is being widely used for the construction of most
of the buildings, bridges and it is also known as backbone
to the infrastructure development of a nation. At present,
for a variety of reasons, the concrete industry is not
sustainable. Firstly, it consumes huge amount of natural
resource due to which no virgin material will be left for
future generation. Secondly, the major component of
concrete is cement and lot amount of green house gas will
be emitted in the manufacturing processes of cement.
Thirdly, concrete structure suffers from durability problem
due to which natural resources are wasted. Therefore, there
is a need to find an alternative method so that concrete
industry becomes sustainable.

Class F fly ash was used in this study and it was collected
from Udupi Power Corporation Limited. Table 4 shows the
test results of basic properties of fly ash.

3.6 Water
In this investigation, for both mixing and curing ordinary
portable water was used.
3.7 Superplasticizer (SP)
Conplast SP430 was used as a superplasticizer. It is a
chloride free, super plasticizing admixture. It was supplied
as a brown solution which instantly disperses in water.

Slump test was carried out on each mix with inverted cone.
Concrete is filled in three layers and each layer is tamped
25 times by tamping rod. Fig 2 shows the slump test
carried out on concrete.
