Cement is the most commonly used building material, accounting for 7% of worldwide carbon dioxide emissions. The most major contribution to global warming is carbon dioxide. Efforts have been made to minimize CO2 emissions in the environment in every way that is practicable, but cement has yet to find a sustainable substitute. The use of fly ash concrete in building is an effort to minimize the quantity of cement needed. The study's purpose is to look at the use of fly ash concrete in construction as a solution to two environmental challenges. One, enormous volumes of fly ash are disposed of by thermal power plants, causing environmental degradation via vast areas of landfills, and two, the cement industry releases a significant proportion of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The growth of concrete technology has been increasingly visible in everyday life as the infrastructure era has evolved in recent years. The use of concrete increased the use of natural resources and energy sources. The presence of fly ash in cement and concrete is unacceptable. Fly ash concrete is both cost-effective and eco-friendly. It also increases the durability of concrete. Currently, less than half of India's fly ash production is used. Infrastructural development is at an all-time high throughout the globe, and it is a good indicator of a country's growth. Throughout the experiment, fly ash was partly replaced for cement and fine aggregate, resulting in a range of 0 percent (without fly ash), 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 60% by weight of cement for M-25 Mix. Concrete mixes' compressive and split strength were molded, tested, and compared.
