        abstract = {Concrete remains one of the most widely used construction materials worldwide and is responsible for a considerable portion of global resource consumption and environmental impact. The increasing demand for infrastructure has led to excessive extraction of natural aggregates and higher cement production, both of which contribute significantly to environmental degradation. As a result, there is a pressing need to explore alternative materials and innovative approaches that can reduce the ecological footprint of concrete while maintaining or enhancing its engineering performance. Utilizing industrial by-products such as bottom ash and incorporating advanced reinforcing materials like glass fibers offer promising pathways toward achieving sustainable and high-performance concrete. Although many previous studies have focused on using either bottom ash as a fine aggregate replacement or glass fiber as a strength-enhancing material independently, the present study investigates the combined effect of both. In this research, bottom ash collected from the Koradi Super Thermal Power Station is used as a partial replacement for fine aggregate, and glass fibers are incorporated to evaluate the overall performance of the concrete. The study examines concrete behavior when natural sand is replaced up to 30% with Koradi bottom ash, providing a new perspective on the synergistic potential of these materials for developing durable and sustainable concrete.},
