GREENER BUILDING MATERIAL WITH FLYASH

Large number of innovative alternate building materials and low cost construction techniques developed through intensive research efforts during last three to four decades satisfies functional as well as specification requirements of conventional materials/techniques and provide an avenue for bringing down the construction cost. Fly ash, a industrial by-product from Thermal Power Plants with current annual generation of approximately 108 million tones and its proven suitability for variety of applications as admixture in cement/concrete/mortar, lime pozzolana mixture (bricks/blocks) etc. is such an ideal material which attracts the attention of everybody. Flyash utilization in the building materials have many advantages like cost effectiveness, environmental friendly, increases in strength and conservation of other natural resources and materials.
