Compressive Strength–Water Absorption Behaviour of Concrete with Coal Bottom Ash as Sand Replacement across Water–Cement Ratios

Congratulations to 𝐄𝐧𝐠. 𝐒𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐲𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐊𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟 𝐌𝐨𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, on the publication of his research article, “𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡–𝗪𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐦 𝐀𝐬𝐡 𝐚𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝗪𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫–𝐂𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐬” in the Journal of Building Material Science.

The study investigates sustainable concrete production through the use of coal bottom ash as a partial replacement for natural sand. By examining the effects of different water–cement ratios on compressive strength and water absorption, the research provides valuable insights into the development of greener, more durable, and resource-efficient construction materials. This work contributes to advancing sustainable engineering practices and supports global efforts toward responsible resource utilization and resilient infrastructure.

𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐮𝐮𝐝 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 remains committed to supporting impactful, interdisciplinary research that advances knowledge and contributes to more equitable and sustainable livelihoods.
