Abstract
The main objective of this research investigation is to study the effect of Olive Mill Waste (OMW) ash and Normal Coal (NC) ash on some engineering properties of normal strength concrete such as workability and compressive strength and hopefully select a better alternative for the concrete mix utilising such wastes. Thus, this will lead to reach a clear environment and reduce the overall cost of concrete mix by reducing the amount of cement content, as a result of replacing these wastes in the concrete mix. Overall, there are numerous benefits associated with the recycling of such waste products for the provision of a substitute concrete mix. Firstly, replacing a certain amount of cement with OMW and NC ash would reduce the overall cost of the concrete mix. Additionally, restoring theses wastes would decrease the levels of pollution which would otherwise increase the spread of pests and negatively impact the health of the population.
