Abstract: Due to rapid industrialization and urbanization the demand for usage of cement is increasing at an alarming rate. On the other hand, fly ash and pond ash is produced in large amount from thermal plants which causes environmental pollution. To overcome above problems pond ash can be effectively utilized with partial replacement of sand in high self-compacting concrete. The fly Ash generation in Indian thermal power stations is liable to shoot up to 365 million tons. In India, about 200 million sq.m of land area is covered up with million tons of pond ash deposits. Although industry has claimed that fly ash is "neither toxic nor poisonous," this is disputed. To minimize the impact of such waste materials on environment proper management is required. Utilization of the waste materials in different purposes is an effective way of management. The utilization of the pond ash is studied as a construction material. Aim is to find out an effective way to use the pond ash as construction material so as to reduce the impact of the hazardous pond ash on environment and human health. Also finding the ways to efficiently use the pond ash waste in order to preserve our precious resources and reduce or eliminate the need for disposal of industrial waste in landfills. The use of pond ash in concrete and its properties such as compressive strength, particle size distribution, and cementations nature of a pond ash is studied. The utilization of pond ash in different construction material effectively such that the strength and quality of construction increases but the cost of the construction decreases is studied.
