    Thanks for the answer. I agree that there are other combinations like blue and white etc, but is there any specific reason for mostly using green and blue along with white?

    Properties of alkali-activated fly ash :

     I studied different research papers based on the above topic and I concluded that :

    • The mortar and concrete made with Portland cement, free activated fly ash develop a highest mechanical strength
    • Less time required to gain enough strength
    • It has a moderate modulus of elasticity
    • Better Bond formation of Steel reinforcement
    • Its shrinkage capacity is very less as compared to ordinary Portland cement concrete

    Optimisation of alkali-activated fly ash :

    • Actually conductive alkali-activated Ash is formed using carbon fibres
    • Optimisation of alkali-activated fly ash is done when we use 0.3% Carbon fibre content 25 to 30 per cent ceramsite content and 70% slag content

    Thank you.

    Contour farming is an agricultural practice where steps are cut out on a sloped field so as to provide steps of flat land (same contour) for cultivation. The potential benefits are a check on erosion, better rainfall usage, more infiltration, and reduction in the need for irrigation.

    It is feasible on all slopy regions to accept on those with highly erodible soils and soils that allow little infiltration.
