This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the behavior of fly ash-, bottom ash-, and blended fly and bottom ash-based geopolymer concrete (GPC) cured at ambient temperature. Four bathes of GPC were manufactured to investigate the influence of the fly ash-to-bottom ash mass ratio on the microstructure, compressive strength and elastic modulus of GPC. All the results indicate that the mass ratio of fly ash-to-bottom ash significantly affects the microstructure and mechanical properties of GPCs

Based on the experiment of five full-scale small-sized fly ash hollow block walls under low-cycle reversed load, the influence of aspect ratio, common horizontal reinforcement, size of structural column section to the loading process, failure characteristics, cracking load, ultimate load, deformation, ductility, stiffness and energy dissipation of the walls was studied. Simultaneously the mechanical properties and work mechanism of the small-sized fly ash hollow block wall has been analyzed.


This paper aimed to investigate the mechanical characteristics of HSC of M60 concrete adding 25% of fly ash to cement and sand and percentage variations of silica fumes 0%,5% and 10% to cement with varying sizes of 10mm,6mm,2mm and powder of granite aggregate with w/c of 0.32. Specimens are tested for compressive strength using 10cm X 10cmX10cm cubes for 7,14,28 days flexural strength was determined by using 10cmX10cmX50cm beam specimens at 28 days and 15cm diameter and 30cm height cylinder specimens at 28 days using super plasticizers of conplast 430 as a water reducing agent. In this paper the experimental set up is made to study the mechanical properties of HSC with and without coarse aggregate with varying sizes as 10mm, 6mm, 2mm and powder. Similarly, the effect of silica fume on HSC by varying its percentages as 0%, 5% and 10% in the mix studied. For all mixes 25% extra fly ash has been added for cement and sand.

A designed experimental study has been conducted to investigate the effect of silica fume on mechanical properties and carbonation resistance of concrete, a large number of experiments have been carried out in this study. The results indicate that the addition of silica fume has improved the compression strength and elastic modulus of concrete. A considerable increase for the compression strength and elastic modulus of the concrete was observed by increasing the dosage of silica fume. Besides, the addition of silica fume can improve the carbonation resistance of the concrete composite evidently, and the carbonation resistance is becoming better and better as the silica fume content is increasing gradually.

According to the typical loess in Shuozhou in Shanxi province, tests involved in compaction characteristics, shearing strength characteristics and disintegration are carried out by using loess and three kinds of improved loess, namely lime and fly-ash, lime and cement, cement and fly-ash. The best improved soil method is selected. The test results indicate that the compact hybrid structure is formed by fly ash and loess. The activity of fly ash is activated as a result of the lime mixing. A series of hydration reaction prompt the intensity of modified loess. And the physical and mechanical properties of improved loess are improved noticeably.

This paper presents the mechanical properties of fly ash-based alkali-activated cement (AAC). A statistical analysis method was used to determine the effect of mix proportion parameters on the dry density and compressive strength of fly ash-based AAC pastes and mortars. For that purpose, sample mixtures were designed according to Taguchi’s experimental design method, i.e., in a L9 orthogonal array. Four factors were selected: “silica fume content” (SF), “sand to solid ratio” (s/c), “liquid to solid ratio” (l/s), and “superplasticiser content” (SP). The experimental results were analysed by using signal to noise for quality control of each mixture, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the significant effect on the compressive strength of fly ash-based AAC. Furthermore, a regression-analysis method was used to predict the compressive strength according to the variation of the four factors. Results indicated that silica fume is the most influencing parameter on compressive strength, which could be decreased by superplasticiser and l/s ratio. There is no significant effect of sand-to-cementitious ratio on compressive strength of fly ash-based AAC. The dry density decreases as the sand-to-cementitious ratio is decreased. The increasing l/s ratio and superplasticiser dosage could further decrease the dry density of fly ash-based AAC.
