Now a day’s concrete pavements are gaining popularity for its own good paving properties, as such consumption of cement is increased drastically. As cement demand increases, production also increases. Every ton of production of cement releases approximately 7% carbon dioxide to environment. In many industries, including power plants, coal is used as fuel. This generates tonnes of coal ash, which is very difficult to dispose off, which in turn causes pollution. Thus the production of cement and electricity contributes huge amount of carbon dioxide emissions and coal ash causing environmental pollution. The present study aims at developing a concrete by replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) Up to 50% Fly Ash by mass. The fresh and hardened properties of High Volume Fly Ash Concrete (HVFAC) with 50% replacement of cement and Ordinary Portland Cement Concrete (OPCC) are studied. The study discloses that high volume of Fly Ash in concrete reduces the water demand and improves the workability. Study also reveals that OPCC and HVFAC exhibit similar hardened properties. Comparison of flexural response of beams made with OPCC and HVFAC with different percentage of reinforcement are also studied. It is observed that HVFAC beams have shown notable improvement in the deflection, cracking behaviour and load carrying capacity.
