CORN LEAF ASHES (Zea mays linnaeus) AS A COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH FOR

CONCRETE

Clowie Denise Patun-og

Objectives of the Study

The study aims to test the use of (Zea mays linnaeus) as a compressive strength for

concrete. Specifically, it aims to:

1. Determine the effectiveness of using corn leaf ash as a compressive strength material (CRM) for

green concrete compared to traditional cement in terms of its impact on carbon dioxide (CO ₂) emissions

reduction during the production process.

2. Determine the long-term durability and structural integrity of green concrete incorporating corn leaf

ash as a (CRM) compared to conventional concrete over time, particularly in terms of resistance to water

penetration and degradation.
