High Calcium Fly Ash

This study evaluates the effect of particle size distribution (PSD) of high calcium fly ash on high volume fly ash (HVFA) mortar characteristics. Four PSD variations of high calcium fly ash used were: unclassified fly ash and fly ash passing sieve No. 200, No. 325 and No. 400, respectively. The fly ash replacement ratio of the cementitious material ranged between 50-70%. The results show that with smaller fly ash particles size and higher levels of fly ash replacement, the workability of the mixture was increased with longer setting time. There was an increase in mortar compressive strength with finer fly ash particle size, compared to those with unclassified ones, with the highest strength was found at those with fly ash passing mesh No. 325. The increase was found due to better compactability of the mixture. Higher fly ash replacement reduced the mortar’s compressive strength, however, the rate was reduced when finer fly ash particles was used.

This paper presents the effect of nanosilica (NS) on compressive strength and microstructure of cement paste containing high volume slag and high volume slag-fly ash blend as partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Results show that high volume slag (HVS) cement paste containing 60% slag exhibited about 4% higher compressive strength than control cement paste, while the HVS cement paste containing 70% slag maintained the similar compressive strength to control cement paste. However, about 9% and 37% reduction in compressive strength in HVS cement pastes is observed due to use of 80% and 90% slag, respectively. The high volume slag-fly ash (HVSFA) cement pastes containing total slag and fly ash content of 60% exhibited about 5%-16% higher compressive strength than control cement paste. However, significant reduction in compressive strength is observed in higher slag-fly ash blends with increasing in fly ash contents. Results also show that the addition of 1-4% NS improves the compressive strength of HVS cement paste containing 70% slag by about 9-24%. However, at higher slag contents of 80% and 90% this improvement is even higher e.g. 11-29% and 17-41%, respectively. The NS addition also improves the compressive strength by about 1-59% and 5-21% in high volume slag-fly ash cement pastes containing 21% fly ash+49%slag and 24% fly ash+56%slag, respectively. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results confirm the reduction of calcium hydroxide (CH) in HVS/HVSFA pastes containing NS indicating the formation of additional calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gels in the system. By combining slag, fly ash and NS in high volumes e.g. 70-80%, the carbon footprint of cement paste is reduced by 66-76% while maintains the similar compressive strength of control cement paste. Keywords: high volume slag, nanosilica, compressive strength, TGA, high volume slag-fly ash blend, CO2 emission.

High Volume Fly Ash

To address sustainability issues by facilitating the use of high-volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete in industry, this paper investigates the early age hydration properties of HVFA binders in concrete and the correlation between hydration properties and compressive strengths of the cement pastes. A new method of calculating the chemically bound water of HVFA binders was used and validated. Fly ash (FA) types used in this study were sourced from Indonesia and Australia for comparison. The water to binder (w/b) ratio was 0.4 and FA replacement levels were 40%, 50% and 60% by weight. Isothermal calorimetry tests were conducted to study the heat of hydration which was further converted to the adiabatic temperature rise. Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) was employed to explore the chemically bound water (WB) of the binders. The results showed that Australian FA pastes had higher heat of hydration, adiabatic temperature rise, WB and compressive strength compared to Indonesian FA pastes. The new method of calculating chemically bound water can be successfully applied to HVFA binders. Linear correlation could be found between the WB and compressive strength.

This research examined the effect of mix proportions namely, water to cementitious (w/c) ratio and glass content, on the flowability and compressive strength of controlled low-strength (CLSM) mixtures. A total of 20 mixes containing different proportions of cement, sand, class C fly ash, coarser glass, finer glass and water were prepared and tested. Results showed that both flowability and strength are dependent on w/c ratio and type and percent of glass content. Strength of mixes containing high volume of coarser glass was found more sensitive towards w/c ratio. Further strength was found to improve with increase in finer portion of the glass powder. Density was also found to correlate well with the moisture content of CLSM specimens. Specimens with lower moisture content produced denser CLSM structure. The results of this study would be useful in establishing mix proportions for CLSM incorporating recycled glass, fly ash, sand and cement for commercial applications

A great deal of experiments have been carried out in this study to reveal the effect of the water-binder ratio and fly ash content on the workability and strengths of GHPC (green high performance concrete). The workability of GHPC was evaluated by slump and slump flow. The strengths include compressive strength and splitting tensile strength. The results indicate that the increase of water-binder ratio can improve the workability of GHPC, however the strengths of GHPC were decreased with the increase of water-binder ratio. When the fly ash content is lower than 40%, the increase in fly ash content has positive effect on workability of GHPC, while the workability begins to decrease after the fly ash content is more than 40%. The addition of fly ash in GHPC has adverse effect on the strengths, and there is a tendency of decrease in the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of GHPC with the increase of fly ash content.
