Mixture Ratio Design

The slag-alkali is used to activate the activity of higher calsium fly ash. By the designs of the mixture ratio and the quadratic regression orthogonal design, the best combination is sought out. Several mixture factors which affect the rule of the concrete material properties and long term performance are researched. The mathematic models which are set up by the mixture ratio design with the quadralic regression orthogonal design can be effective. The precision is high. The strength of the concrete of slag-alkali fly ash was still increasing after 8 year. The dispersion degree of those specimens is small. The SEM photo of cracked specimen and early concrete specimen shows the surface of fly ash in 7 days concrete is slick and that in 8 years old specimen has been enwrapped tightly by much hydrate plant.

Using recycled pavement materials to construct new pavement base is currently an important construction strategy bringing improved sustainability. This study investigates the long-term performance of pavement bases constructed with recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), and blends with natural aggregates in a seasonal frost region. The stabilization effect of fly ash on RAP was studied as well. In situ falling weight deflectometer (FWD) tests were routinely conducted to provide seasonal deflection data, which were used to back-calculate the layer modulus. Seasonal changes in the base layer modulus along with the pavement ride quality were monitored. One of the two lanes at the test sections was consistently subjected to traffic loading, whereas the other one was not. Findings from this field research indicated that after undergoing over 8 years of naturally seasonal freeze-thaw conditions, 100% RCA, 50% RCA, plus 50% natural aggregates, and 100% RAP, presented improved performance over 100% natural aggregates. However, 50% RAP blended with 50% natural aggregates performed comparably to natural aggregates only, and fly ash did not provide considerable improvement on the long-term performance of 50% RAP plus 50% natural aggregate base. Seasonal climatic variations turned out to affect pavement performance more critically than traffic loading.

Water transport is an important parameter that affects the long term performance and degradation of concrete greatly. Nowadays, adding fly ash is a promising solution to achieve high-performance, low-price and environment-friendly concrete. To characterize the effect of fly ash on water transport of concrete, especially in dry state, moisture variations and microstructure of concrete with different mix proportions were studied in this paper. Test results reveal that fly ash will increase the porosity of early curing concrete, the higher porosity leads to a faster evaporation, which accelerates the transport of water in cement based materials.

ABSTRACTThe mining industry currently uses fly-ash from coal-fired power-plants to close access shafts in abandoned mines, in sedimentary formations. The technique consists of installing a plug of fly-ash, about fifty meters high, at the base of the shaft-lining. In this study, fly-ash is considered as a possible sealant for radioactive repositories in sedimentary formations, as well as in hard rock.Specific studies have been conducted in order to assess the feasibility of this technique, and to improve the long-term performance of the fly-ash seals. The hydraulic and mechanical characteristics of fly-ash, taken from the plug of an abandoned shaft, as well as from dumps of various ages, were measured. Laboratory tests showed that it is possible to reduce the hydraulic conductivity of fly-ash by a factor of thousand, with the addition of ten percent bentonite. Moreover, it seems possible to block fine fissures in the surrounding damaged rock by injecting grouts made of cement and fly-ash having maximum diameters of twenty micrometers.
