This research work represents updated results of cohesive soil strength improvement with mineral wool fly ash. In the investigations, these materials were used: Portland cement CEM I 42.5 R, fly ash obtained from a mineral wool production process, sand and clay. Mixtures were prepared as follows: dry mixing of Portland cement and fly ash; dry mixing of sand and clay; adding water into Portland cement and fly ash; adding sand and clay mixture into already prepared Portland cement and fly ash suspension. The content of fly ash replacing Portland cement varied from 0% to 40%, and the content of sand mixture varied from 20% to 60%. After 24 hours, investigated samples were taken out from cylinder forms and kept in a desiccator with a humidity of 90% and at 20 °C temperature. Uniaxial compressive strength of the samples was determined after 548 days and compared to previous research results obtained after 7, 28 and 183 days. The most predictable compressive strength is for samples, which composition is 100% cement and 0% fly ash. In these samples, the highest compressive strength was obtained, comparing them to the other investigated samples. Compressive strength change is minimal for samples with a 10–30% amount of fly ash. The most significant decrease in compressive strength was obtained for samples with a 40% fly ash after 183 days. Nonetheless, the compressive strength of these samples increased after 548 days and is almost the same as for samples with 100% Portland cement.

<p>At this time, plastic is a material that is needed by the wider community and its impact is also extraordinary after the plastic is used in everyday life which can cause serious problems if the management is not done properly. The problem of plastic waste does not only occur in the city of Semarang, but also in other cities, so that the Ministry of Environment and Forestry to impose a program to use paid plastic bags in the short term. But this is only to deal with problems in the short term. In the long run, it will not solve the problem of "plastic waste", because the policy actually encourages people to buy plastic which, of course, will add a new burden on the community to buy it. The results showed that the compressive strength of light brick with the model / type of BN s.d. B10.0 with 10 variations of the mixture of the addition of plastic waste starting from (1.0 to 10.0)% to the weight of Portland Cement (PC) there is a decrease in the average compressive strength. The lowest was the addition of 10.0% plastic waste with an average compressive strength of 9.88 kg / cm². The regression equation obtained Y = 0.042 X ² - 1.177 X + 18.84 with a correlation value R ² = 0.934, meaning that the addition of plastic waste ranging from (1.0 to 10.0)% of the weight of Portland Cement (PC) has the effect of "very strong "against the compressive strength. So we can get a picture that by adding the addition of plastic waste affects the compressive strength decreases. So that it can be investigated with other compositions by adding Fly Ash and sand made with a mixture ratio of 1 PC: 2 Aggregate (Sand and Fly Ash), with the hope that this Fly Ash waste can also be used for lightweight brick building elements</p>

Abstract This research work investigated the properties of concrete block made from Portland cement and aggregate replacement materials. Portland cement (PC) was replaced by fly ash (FA) at 10%, 20%, 30% and sand was replaced by bottom ash (BA) at 10% by weight. Water was used at 7% by weight of total solid mass. Binder : Sand : Stone dust ratio of 1 : 5 : 6, 1 : 4 : 5 and 1 : 3.5 : 4.5 were used. Compressive strength were tested after curing in air for 28 days. The results showed that compressive strength of 1 : 5 : 6 ratio was lower than others. Concrete block replaced PC by fly ash had lower compressive strength when amount of fly ash increased. Concrete block had lower compressive strength when replaced sand by bottom ash. As a result, the mixes with FA as PC replacement and BA as sand replacement at the ratio of 1 : 5 : 6 did not meet the requirement of Thai industrial standard. However, concrete block with PC replaced by fly ash at 10%, 20% and sand replaced by bottom ash at 10% of 1 : 3.5 : 4.5 ratio was higher than 1 : 5 : 6 ratio and this ratio meet the requirement of Thai industrial standard.

Hydroelectric Plants

Electrical companies generate electricity mainly from two major types of plant; hydroelectric plants and thermal plants. Hydroelectric is the term referring to electricity generated by hydropower; the production of electrical power through the use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water through dams operation. The sedimentation of such dams over years will cause large capacity losses of the dams. Thermal plants generate electricity through coal-fired power plants which produce millions tons of fly ash yearly. This fly ash accumulates rapidly and causes enormous problems of disposal. Therefore, the research work presented in this paper is dealing with utilizing reservoir sediment and fly as to form brick under pressure. Sediment brick can be produced as a load bearing brick with compressive strength is greater than 7 N/mm2.

Low Activity

Fly ash (FA) can be used in cement mixtures with certain limitations. The problem of the mentioned mixtures lies in the insufficient activity of the particles of FA in the reactions which are important for the establishment of the mechanical characteristics of cement. This is particularly true for the hydration reactions. As a result of this, cement pastes formed by mixing ash and clinker have worse characteristics compared to those of pure Portland cement (PC), especially in the early period of setting. As is well known, FA can be a good solution for the neutralization of the negative effects generated due to the creation of free Ca(OH)2 during the hydration of PC, provided that the problems with the low activity of FAare overcome. For the experiments in this study, a mixture of Portland cement and fly ash was used, the content of ash in the mixture being 30 % and 50 %. Mechanical activation was performed in a vibrating ring mill. The goal of this study was to demonstrate, through experimental results, that during the mechanical activation of a PC and FA mixture, the components in the mixture which mostly affect the direction, rate and range of hydration reactions occurring in the mixture had been activated. The values of the compressive strength of the activated and non-activated mixtures and the changes of their specific surface area proved that during the grinding process, the mixture PC+FA had been mechanically activated. The highest increase of compressive strength was achieved in the early period of setting, which indicates an improvement in the early hydration of the mixture. XRD, DTA and TG analyses showed that the alite (C3S) and belite (C2S) from the PC and a part of the fly ash were activated. .

Proportional Variation

Portland cement production process which is the conventional concrete constituent materials always has an impact on producing carbon dioxide (CO2) which will damage the environment. To maintain the continuity of development, while maintaining the environment, Portland cement substitution can be made with more environmentally friendly materials, namely fly ash. The substitution of fly ash material in concrete is known as geopolymer concrete. Fly ash is one of the industrial waste materials that can be used as geopolymer material. Fly ash is mineral residue in fine grains produced from coal combustion which is mashed at power plant power plant [15]. Many cement factories have used fly ash as mixture in cement, namely Portland Pozzolan Cement. Because fly ash contains SiO2, Al2O3, P2O3, and Fe2O3 which are quite high, so fly ash is considered capable of replacing cement completely.This study aims to obtain geopolymer concrete which has the best workability so that it is easy to work on (Workable Geopolymer Concrete / Self Compacting Geopolymer Concrete) and obtain the basic characteristics of geopolymer concrete material in the form of good workability and compressive strength. In this study, geopolymer concrete is composed of coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, fly ash type F, and activators in the form of NaOH and Na2SiO3 Be52. In making geopolymer concrete, additional ingredients such as superplastizer are added to increase the workability of geopolymer concrete. From this research, the results of concrete compressive strength above fc' 25 MPa and horizontal slump values reached 60 to 80 centimeters.

Plasticizing Admixture

Cement as the binding agent in the production of concrete can be replaced with active mineral admixtures. Biofuel combustion fly ash is one of such admixtures. Materials used for the study: Portland cement CEM I 42.5 R, sand of 0/4 fraction, gravel of 4/16 fraction, biofuel fly ash, superplasticizer, water. Six compositions of concrete were designed by replacing 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% 20%, and 25% of cement with biofuel fly ash. The article analyses the effect of biofuel fly ash content on the properties of concrete. The tests revealed that the increase of biofuel fly ash content up to 20% increases concrete density and compressive strength after 7 and 28 days of curing and decreases water absorption, with corrected water content by using plasticizing admixture. It was found that concrete where 20% of cement is replaced by biofuel ash has higher frost resistance.

Barite concrete with density grade of 3 and strength grade of C30 was prepared by mixing with different fineness of fly ash. The workability, mechanical properties and long-term high temperature performance of the prepared barite concrete were researched. Results show that the workability of barite concrete is improved by mixing with fly ash, and no segregation of mixture has been observed. The apparent density and 3d, 28d compressive strength of barite concrete are decreased obviously after mixing with fly ash. But with the increasing of the fineness of fly ash, the apparent density and 3d, 28d compressive strength of barite concrete have a slight increase. High temperature residual compressive strength is decreased with the increasing of temperature. The cycle times of heat treatment at 400°C only has a little effect on residual compressive strength of barite concrete.
