This document discusses the use of fly ash as a partial substitute for cement in cement mortar. Fly ash is a byproduct of coal combustion in thermal power plants. Using fly ash reduces construction costs and environmental impact compared to ordinary Portland cement. The document outlines the chemical composition and pozzolanic properties of fly ash that improve the mechanical and durability properties of cement mortar. It reviews literature showing that fly ash and lime have cementation properties when they react. The conclusion is that fly ash utilization provides environmental and workability benefits when used properly in cement mortar according to industry standards.

Worldwide establishment of Thermal Power plants(TPPs) to meet rising electricity demand.
Resultant increase in coal consumption in these power plants.
Disposal of ash from combustion poses a notable environments challenge.
The paper explores using fly ash as an admixture to partially substitute ordinary Portland cement.
It leads to reduction in overall construction costs.
Additionally, it is environmentally friendly.
INTRODUCTION • The text discusses the valuable role of fly ash, a byproduct of coal combustion, in various industries, particularly construction. It emphasizes how fly ash enhances cement-based materials, aligning with the increasing demand for sustainable construction practices. Fly ash is highlighted as a partial replacement for cement in cement mortar, offering benefits such as reduced environmental impact and improved structural durability. The discussion covers its chemical composition, pozzolanic properties, and positive effects on mechanical and durability characteristics. Practical considerations for mixing fly ash in cement mortar are explored, with the ultimate goal of advancing sustainability and resilience in the construction industry. LITERATURE REVIEW • Basumajumdar et al., in 2004 has studied that the fly ash and lime some cementation properties when they react CONCLUSION • In conclusion, the utilization of fly ash in cement mortar offers a multitude of benefits, ranging from improved workability and durability to significant environmental advantages. With proper consideration of replacement ratios, adherence to industry standards, and quality control measures, fly ash proves to be a valuable and sustainable resource in modern construction practices. Embracing this practice represents a significant step towards more efficient and environmentally responsible construction processes. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT • I would like to express my special thanks and gratitude Mr. J. Mohan (principal) and Mr. D.
