    Fly Ash is a product or furnace slag received form metal factories and power plants by burning or combustion of coal as fuel. The maximum percentage of fly ash or 15% by weight of cement shall be replaced by fly ash. #less percentage does not affect any properties of concrete or cement #more fly ashRead more

    Fly Ash is a product or furnace slag received form metal factories and power plants by burning or combustion of coal as fuel.

    The maximum percentage of fly ash or 15% by weight of cement shall be replaced by fly ash.

    #less percentage does not affect any properties of concrete or cement

    #more fly ash reduces the strength of concrete and durability of concrete.

    Adequate % of fly ash makes concrete economical and more durable.

    Because it reduces the quantity of cement, and slow hydration prevents cracks in concrete.

    Fly ash is available in the market cheaper than cement.

    #divert this pipe by using 45 degree bend or sue bend and fill brick wall with brickbat and rich mortar and grout beam with finer aggregate concrete(using 6 to mm aggregate)

    #if above option is not possible than do plywood centring on wall face coveing pipe and cutout with support and grout as above, and plaster it using mesh on cutout and pipe surface.
