Abstract

Owing to the order of the day, we are searching for an eco-friendly binding ingredient instead of cement, which is now universally used in concrete. Almost everyone extensively exploits construction materials due to their good durability and compressive characteristics. The present study examines the use of acacia nilotica ash as a cement substitute. It is known that acacia nilotica`s aggressive roots are extremely presumptuous and invasive and spoil the foundation of buildings. By gripping water from adjoining areas, they change soil nitrogen and are a major source of affecting plant growth. In this work, the M35-grade geocomposite was investigated by incorporating acacia nilotica ash at 0%, 2.5, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, and 15% for fly ash. Mechanical and durability studies were carried out by changing the magnitude of acacia nilotica ash and evaluating it with the standard composite samples.
