Performance Analysis of High-Volume Fly Ash and Recycled Aggregate in M50 Concrete: Workability and Compressive Strength
Abstract: Abstract This study evaluates the impact of recycled aggregate (RA) and high-volume fly ash (HVFA) on the workability and compressive strength of M50 grade concrete. Slump tests were conducted for various water-cement ratios, using a mix ratio of 1:0.69:2.29 and a high-range water reducer. The compressive strength of concrete mixtures incorporating varying percentages of RA and FA was measured at 7, 28, and 90 days. Results indicate that replacing natural …
