The Impact of Fly Ash and Sea Sand on Strength and Durability of Concrete

Abstract:

Fly ash is a solid waste produced by power plants. To overcome the bad effects on the environment, fly ash is used as a substitute for cement in making concrete. Apart from that, the innovation of aggregate replacement materials in mixing concrete also has several alternatives, one of which is the use of sea sand as a substitute for fine aggregate. This research was conducted to determine the best proportion of sea sand use 10–40% with two treatments (washed and unwashed) and the use of fly ash of 20-30% on the corrosion resistance of reinforcing steel and the mechanical properties of concrete. The research results show that using up to 30% washed sea sand and 10% unwashed sea sand can increase compressive strength when compared to normal concrete. The use of up to 30% fly ash together with 20% sea sand has the same compressive strength as normal concrete. Apart from that, the use of sea sand and fly ash together has a low-risk category for reinforcing steel corrosion (10% risk of corrosion).
