Abstract:Introducing fly ash aggregate concrete, a sustainable solution revolutionizing the construction industry. Derived from coal combustion residue, fly ash aggregates offer enhanced strength, durability, and environmental benefits. This research paper explores the mechanical properties, and applications of fly ash aggregate concrete. By analyzing its performance in structural elements and comparing it with traditional concrete, we aim to highlight its potential as a viable alternative. With a focus on sustainability and resource efficiency, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on sustainable construction materials, paving the way for a greener and more resilient built environment. This experimental study investigates the viability and performance of concrete produced using fly ash artificial aggregate (FAAA) as a substitute for natural coarse aggregate. The escalating demand for concrete, coupled with environmental concerns regarding the depletion of natural resources, necessitates exploring alternative materials for construction. Fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion, poses disposal challenges due to its environmental impact. However, through innovative processes, fly ash can be transformed into artificial aggregates suitable for concrete production. Preliminary findings indicate that concrete utilizing FAAA exhibits comparable mechanical properties to conventional concrete, with certain mixes demonstrating superior performance in terms of durability. The study also explores the economic and environmental implications of utilizing FAAA in concrete production, considering factors such as material availability, energy consumption, and waste reduction.
