ABSTRACTA model for reactions that occur in hydrating portland cement is now generally well developed. Incorporation of various by-products to form blended cements modifies both the hydration reactions and the physical properties of the resulting pastes. A review of recent progress in understanding the effects of blending agents on these reactions is presented. The blending agents considered are low-calcium (Class F) fly ash, high calcium (Class C) fly ash, blast furnace slag, silica fume, biosilica and natural pozzolans. Effects of the blending agents on physical properties such as rheology are also considered. Particular attention is given to the essential role of alkalies in pore solutions and the beneficial reactions that occur with high silica content blending agents.

Porous concretes with continuous voids have been gaining more interest as an ecological material because of their useful functions such as water permeability and adsorption ability. Especially, to make porous concrete much more environmentalized, micropores play a role of nest for microorganism and germs to live in. So micropore distribution and the size of micropores especially open pores are the key point . In this study, the size and distribution of micropores of porous concrete were effected by the AE agents to the cement pastes and then by the treating types, treating times, treating temperatures, and the vacuum pressure during the treating. And another group specimens were added sodium bicarbonate and alum. And then physical properties were examined, digital microscope was also used to observe the micropores sizes and distributions. Cracks were observed on the cement-aggregate joint when the amount and vacuum pressure increased. And high treating temperature shows no good on the bonding of cement paste and aggregate.

ABSTRACTFly ashes having three distinctly different levels of calcium, designated low-calcium (Class F), intermediate-calcium (Class F/C), and high-calcium (Class C), comprised the basic material for the present study. Pastes and mortars were made using cement and one of three types of fly ashes at various levels of replacement and water-solid ratios. Chloride ion diffusion was measured by applying an electrical potential across cured cylindrical samples and measuring the amount of current passed in a certain period of time (proportional to amount of CE” passed in this time). Other supportive measurements were made, e.g. porosity, pore size distribution, water permeability and surface area. The Cl− ion diffusivity was correlated with the chemical composition of fly ash, mix proportion, and water permeability of the hardened paste or mortar.

This paper discusses on Rapid Chloride Permeability Test investigations on penetration of chloride ions included with replacement of cement by flyash material. By weigth of cement, the fly ash content is replaced from 0% to 60%. Concrete mixes with different binder content varies from 350, 400 and 450 kg/m3 were proportioned with different water binder(w/b) ratios = 0.4, 0.45 and 0.50. Specimens were casted and tested for 28 days. For all the combinations, RCPT was carried out and the charge passed through the specimens was noted. Rapid Chloride Permeability Test value of concrete without fly ash was found to be more than the concrete with fly ash. The Rapid Chloride Permeability Test values are found to be decreased if the percentage of flyash increases. The reason could be the pozzolanic reaction products (CSH) fill the pores between the cement pastes and cause a denser concrete matrix, resulting in better durability. Hence, it can be suggested that the fly ash concrete up to 50% replacement can be used for variety of applications.

Trials has been made to produce efficient GPC which gives maximum strength. By-Products from industries such as Fly-Ash, Metakaolin and GGBS can be used in concrete replacement which in-turn reduces carbon-di-oxide (CO2 ) emission affecting to green house. Using the above said products also leads to reduction of water demand in concrete and also shows comparatively no effects on long term effects in concrete, these by-products can effectively be used in concrete production. The high silica content in Fly-Ash and Metakaolin increases the bonding in concrete which in-turn increases the mechanical properties of concrete. Geopolymer concrete of M50 grade was proposed to be produced using fly-ash and Metakaolin instead of cement.Alklai solutions Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), Sodium Silicate (Na2SiO3) were replaced with water for better bonding and mixing. Molarity of Sodium Hydroxide with 10M and 12M was considered for this study. Ratio of Alkaline solution were considered as 1:2,1:2.5&1:3 to determine the optimum ratio which gives effective strength. In this experimental study, tests were carried on concrete specimens with percentage replacement of Fly-Ash with Buff Metakaolin in variable percentages of 20,40,60,80&100. Mechanical properties of concrete specimens were studied and were compared with control mix results.

New types of binders are being developed as an alternative to traditional cement. These alternatives are developed to have better properties and to be more environmentally friendly. Geopolymer is a novel binder that is produced from by-products such as fly ash, rich hushes ash and bio mass ash. In this experiment, fly ash, which was a by-product from electrical-generating power plants, was used during the synthesis of geopolymer. According to ASTM standard C168, fly ash is categorized into two types: class F and class C. This research focuses on the effects of using both types of fly ashes on mechanical properties of geopolymer. The experiment studies the changes on setting time, drying shrinkage and compressive strength of geopolymer mortar when 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent of total weight of class F fly ash (LCF) is substituted with class C counterpart (HCF). The study used sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as alkali activators. The samples were cured for 24 hours either at an ambient temperature of 25°C or at an elevated temperature of 60°C.The result showed that the setting time of pure LCF geopolymer mortar was 6 times longer than that of the pure HCF ones. In addition to setting time, the specimens with 25 percent of their total binders weight replaced by HCF appeared to have the highest strength. However, the increase in HCF also increased the drying shrinkage by 6 and 12times when the specimens were cured at25°C and at 60°C respectively
