Abstract
Cylindrical and cubical concrete blocks are prepared with 0%, 10% & 20% fly ash content and cured for various
time periods. The compressive strength is determined according to ASTM C837 standard. It is found that there is a decrease
in strength with increase in fly ash content and as the curing time increases the strength also increases for each of the case.
The maximum value of compressive strength is found for the controlled concrete mixture with 0% fly ash i.e., 19MPa for
the cylindrical specimen.
