High-volume fly ash (HVFA) cementitious composites (paste, grout, mortar, and concrete) have been widely investigated as a class of sustainable materials due to their lower carbon footprint and often better life cycle performance than conventional Portland cement mixtures. Recent years have seen increased research in HVFA-based materials, and the potential of this type of mixtures in engineering applications has significantly improved. In this context, this work reviews the renewed knowledge of HVFA mixtures, focusing on the relevant papers published over the last decade. The effects of replacing cement with a HVFA binder on the fresh properties, mechanical properties, durability performance, and environmental impact of HVFA cementitious composites are explored. Measures that can compensate for the main drawbacks that limit the wider application of HVFA mixtures are discussed in detail. At last, we summarize the research needs and remaining challenges of HVFA cementitious composites.

Compressive Strength Test

In order to investigate the mechanical properties of cementitious composites (ECC) cured at 60°C, four-point bending test and compressive strength test are employed to analyze the effect of fly ash on the properties of ECC. The replacement ratio of cement with fly ash is 50%, 70% and 80%, respectively. The test results indicate that ECC with high volume fly ash still remain the characteristic of pseudo-strain hardening and the deflection of ECC increases remarkably by adding more fly ash. The observations of ECC indicate that the crack width is relatively smaller for higher volume fly ash ECC. Meanwhile, compressive strength of ECC specimens with 80% fly ash can reach to 70MPa. This is helpful to produce precast ECC with high volume of fly ash.
