ABSTRACT
Bottom ash is formed in coal furnaces. It is made from agglomerated ash particles that too large to be carried in the flue gases and fall through open grates to an ash hopper at the bottom of the furnace. Bottom ash is mainly comprised of fused coarser particles. These particles are quite porous and look like volcanic lava. Bottom ash forms up to 25% of the total ash while the fly ash is remaining 75%. The present work deals with flexural behavior of bottom ash geopolymer reinforced concrete beam. A total of six beams were cast, in which three beams were control reinforced concrete beams and thee beams were bottom ash geopolymer reinforced concrete beam. bottom ash geopolymer reinforced concrete beamwas cured at ambient temperature. The load carrying capacity, load deflection behavior and initial stiffness capacity of beams were arrived and compared with control reinforced cement concrete (RCC) specimens
