Wood ash is denouement from combustion of wood in various industries like thermal power generation plant, paper and pulp plants, boilers, bakeries etc. Wood being renewable resource for energy is widely being used from past times as a source for energy production and thus resulting in wood ash production. This study consists of incorporation of wood ash as partial replacement of cement in concrete. Uncontrolled burning of kikker wood (Kashmiri version of MESQUITE TREE) in baker’s oven to form wood ash is used as partial replacement of cement in concrete thereby changing its behaviour. Wood ash is quite similar to fly ash and rise husk ash. In this study concrete mix M-30 is used as control specimen and replacement of cement with wood ash is done at 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. The behavior of concrete is observed in terms of workability, water absorption capacity, compressive strength and splitting tensile strength.
