Sand, water, and fly ash is not concrete.
What’s missing?
Portland cement. Add this last ingredient in the right proportion, it would last forever......

***Sand, water, and fly ash is not concrete.***

Fly ash from Wyoming coal, when wet, will set up almost like concrete.
Power plant bottom ash, when mixed with cement works nicely as concrete. The ash and clinkers take the place of sand and gravel.
