And Performance

In this paper, the main characteristic of definition, property, requirement of raw material, mix proportion design and performance improvement of high volume fly ash concrete (for short HVFAC) are summarized. The applications of HVFAC in dam, highway, building and port are introduced. The research results have shown that HVFAC have outstanding properties of physical mechanics, but some problems need to be further studied. It is believed that an operable strict corresponding technical criterion would be set down as soon as possible for engineering practice.

The present study evaluates the mechanical-microstructural characteristics of the densified high-performance concrete (HPC) incorporating high volume fly ash (FA). The densified mixture design algorithm (DMDA) technology was applied to design the concrete proportions. The effects of various FA contents on both fresh and hardened concrete were investigated. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to observe the microstructure of the concrete samples. The effectiveness of using DMDA in mix deign was also discussed in this study. As the experimental results, the FA content was found to affect the concrete properties significantly. The maximum compressive strength value of 65.1 MPa was obtained at the concrete samples containing 40% FA. Additionally, the 40% FA samples exhibited a denser microstructure as compared to the others. Generally, all of the tested concrete samples exhibited good performance in terms of workability, strength development, water absorption, and porosity. The results of this study further show the effectiveness of using DMDA technology in proportioning of the concrete mixture.

In current practice, the performance-based concrete mix (PBCM) approach has become quite popular because it enhances the quality of materials that are fundamentally necessary for a particular situation. In the present study, experimental analysis is performed to determine the optimal mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics of concrete for sustainable development and cost effectiveness. Specifically, a mixture of high-volume fly ash (FA) and ultrafine calcium carbonate (UFCC) is investigated as a partial substitution of cement. For optimizing the concrete’s performance, various curing regimes are applied to evaluate the best conditions for obtaining ideal mechanical and microstructural properties. The results show that concrete containing 10% UFCC with a mean particle size of 3.5 µm blended with 40% FA yielded the best performance, with an enhancement of 25% in the compressive strength in the early age. Moreover, the UFCC improved the compactness and refined the interstitial transition zone (ITZ). However, the effects of the different curing methods on the concrete’s strength were insignificant after 28 days.

High Volume Fly Ash

One of the effective ways of low carbon concrete is to reduce the cement content. It can not only reduce the greenhouse gas emission, but also improve the comprehensive utilization of industrial solid waste. In this paper, the mix design and experimental research of C15 Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) were carried out by substituting cement with high volume fly ash. A partition coefficient of environmental burden Cm was introduced in order to assess the environmental effect of different mix proportion SCC precisely by using life cycle assessment method. Evaluation results showed that the mixing of fly ash can reduce the consumption of coal, the discharge of CO2 and the solid wastes effectively. The study provided a rational basis for the high performance and low cost fly ash concrete.
