Abstract: Because of exponential growing in urbanization and industrialization, the amount of municipal solid wastes (MSWs) has increased very rapidly. The disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) is becoming an increasing concern for many urban municipalities because of the increasing volume of solid waste generated, the spiraling costs of operating landfills, and the scarcity of landfill sites. With increased environmental awareness and its potential hazardous effects, utilization of these materials has become an attractive alternative to disposal. Ash form MSW could possibly be used in concrete manufacturing.
