Abstract
This work investigated the performance of ternary Corncob Ash (CCA) and Anthill Soil (AHS) in concrete mixes. CCA and AHS were replaced in concrete using equal proportions at replacements of 0%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%. Investigations covered workability, density, compressive and tensile strengths and gain in strength over time of concrete, as these were found to be the major characteristics of Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs). Results showed that the two materials could be used with an advantage over individual binary concretes in these areas.
