The purpose of this paper is to carry out a literature review on the effects of using wood ash as a component in concrete, in order to determine its mechanical properties and behavior. A review of 80 refereed and indexed articles was carried out. The key words were: "concrete and wood ash, replacement of cement with wood ashes, percentages of wood ash in concrete. From this review it is concluded that the use of wood ash provides better physical-mechanical behavior when used in materials such as concrete; however, its adequate percentages range from 5 to 15%, given that in these proportions it has allowed obtaining an increase in relation to the standard concrete of 76% of its compressive strength.
