Fly ash possesses pozzolanic properties similar to the natu-rally occurring pozzolans of volcanic or sedimentary origin found in many parts of the world. Two thousand years ago, the Romans mixed volcanic ash with lime, aggregate, and water to produce mortar and concrete (Vitruvius 1960). In modern concrete, fly ash combines with calcium hydroxide

Dec 31, 2024 · Fly ash is a by-product from the combustion of pulverized coal, and is widely used as an ingredient in hydraulic-cement concrete. Because it improves many desirable properties of concrete, it is introduced either as a separately batched material or as a …

A. Fly ash is the finely divided residue that results from the combustion of ground or powdered coal and that is transported by flue gasses from the combustion zone to the particle removal system. ASTM C618 provides classification for Class F and Class C.

Apr 1, 1993 · Some of the most promising substitutes or supplementary cementing materials are high- and low-calcium fly ashes, ferrous and nonferrous slags, condensed silica fume, and rice husk ash. This paper presents a review on the use of these by-products in concrete.

Fly ash used as a pozzolan to replace some of the portland cement in concrete often achieves energy and cost savings and imparts specific engineering properties to the finished product. To use fly ash effectively and economically it is important to understand the differences between fly ash and portland cement concretes.

Apr 23, 2018 · Fly ash is used in concrete and other portland cement-based systems primarily because of its pozzolanic and cementitious properties. These properties contribute to strength gain and are known to improve the performance of fresh and hardened concrete, mortar, and grout. The use of fly ash typically results in more economical concrete construction.

Jan 1, 2000 · In 1985, CANMET developed a concrete incorporating large volumes of fly ash that has all the attributes of high-performance concrete, that is, one that has excellent mechanical properties, low permeability, superior durability, and that is environmentally friendly.
