AN AUTOCLAVED FLY-ASH AGGREGATES BASED CONCRETE COMPOSITION

Abstract The present disclosure relates to an autoclaved fly-ash aggregates based concrete composition. The composition comprises: cement, fly-ash, and water. The fly-ash was agglomerated with cement in various proportions, with 1:1 ratio being the most optimal. A disc-pelletizer is then used to make the pellets using the mentioned mixture. The autoclave process was then used to harden these pellets. The manufactured aggregate was subjected to various aggregate testing procedures, including crushing, impact, and abrasion values, all of which were higher than those of conventional coarse aggregate. This artificial aggregate is lighter than conventional coarse aggregate and has a lower specific gravity. At the same time, it will also address the issue of depleting natural resources. a) ±0 '0 -> 'I 5/ ' I C I 5> N ax
