Abstract: This research examines the potential of substituting fly ash with natural zeolite minerals, specifically scolecite and stilbite, in concrete formulations. The study assessed how this substitution influences various concrete properties, such as water absorption, setting time, and compressive strength. M20 grade concrete was utilized, incorporating OPC 53 grade cement, and the outcomes were contrasted with those of control concrete that included fly ash. Findings indicated that incorporating natural zeolite minerals as a supplementary cementitious material can enhance the overall properties of concrete. Keywords natural zeolite minerals, scolecite, stilbite, fly ash, concrete, sustainability.
