Fly ash is used to improves concrete’s workability and  pumpability for fresh concrete , and ultimate strength, and durability for hardened concrete.

It is preferably used in huge concrete masses like Dams as it reduces the heat of reaction and increase the strength as a result.

In general, it reduce the concrete permeability and so, decrease the chemical aggression.
