Abstract

The use of alternative materials in concrete mixtures is an important concern in an effort to create more environmentally friendly construction. One of the potential additives is fly ash, a waste product of coal combustion that has pozzolanic properties. This research aims to analyze the effect of fly ash addition on the compressive strength of concrete at various mix variations. The method used includes making concrete specimens with fly ash variations of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% by weight of cement, then testing the compressive strength at 7, 14, and 28 days according to SNI standards. The results showed that the addition of fly ash up to 20% significantly increased the compressive strength of concrete compared to normal concrete. However, at 30% level, there was a decrease in strength. The conclusion of this research is that fly ash can be used as an effective additive in improving concrete performance, while supporting the reduction of environmental impacts from the construction industry
