Concrete is recognized as the most widely utilized material in the field of construction, comprising aggregates, cement, and water. In recent decades, sustainable construction has emerged as a pivotal field, driven by the substantial surge in population and the consequent demand for additional buildings and construction projects. This phenomenon is associated with an increase in pollution, which is attributable to the extraction of raw materials and the manufacturing of construction materials. The production of cement is recognized as a particularly polluting process. Consequently, it is imperative to utilize materials that prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility. Bio-ash materials have been identified as a viable solution, with the potential to serve as a substitute for aggregates, particularly fine aggregates, and ordinary Portland cement.
