Fly ash is a byproduct formed when coal is burned in thermal power plants. It is a fine powder containing aluminous and siliceous material that becomes cementitious when water is added to it. Concrete made using fly ash is easy to pour, shows low permeability, and resists chemical reactions, thereby increasing the service life of concrete. Fly ash is primarily used in the construction and infrastructure industries.
