The hydration degree of fly ash and the calcium hydroxide (CH) content were measured. Combined with the equilibrium calculation of cement hydration, a new method for assessment of the hydration degree of cement in the fly ash-cement (FC) pastes based on the CH content was developed. The results reveal that as the fly ash content increase, the hydration degree of fly ash and the CH content decrease gradually; at the same time, the hydration degree of cement increase. The hydration degree of cement in the FC pastes containing a high content of fly ash (more than 35%) at 360 days is as high as 80%, even some of which hydrates nearly completely. The effect of water-cement ratio to the hydration degree of cement in the FC pastes is far less distinct than that of the content of fly ash.

By means of accelerated carbonation tests, the carbonation resistance of concrete in relation to the variation of water-cement ratio, fly ash content and curing conditions is studied in this article. The results show that under the standard curing conditions, with the fly ash content of 20%, in response to different water-cement ratio, the carbonation depth of concrete and the water-cement ratio are presented more or less in a linear relationship. At the water-cement ratio of 0.40, there is hardly any carbonation effect onto the concrete. However, at the ratio of bigger than 0.60, the carbonation depth of concrete increases in a speedy way. Under the standard curing conditions, at the water-cement ratio of 0.55, with the fly ash content of lower than or equal to 30%, the carbonation resistance of concrete is good enough to fulfill the design criteria of 50~100 years for service life of important and general buildings, while the compressive strength declines by less than 10%. But under the condition of 1d curing with retention of moisture followed by curing in the air until 28d, with no fly ash content, the carbonation depth of concrete has reached 35mm, which fails to fulfill the design criteria of 50 years for service life of general buildings. It is therefore concluded that the control of water-cement ratio, the control of fly ash content, and the sufficient curing with retention of moisture in early stage are all the essential factors to ensure the durability against carbonation for the concrete with fly ash content.

There are many factors affecting the characteristics of cement-fly ash slurry in practical engineering. Thus, this paper studies the influence of multifactors on the fluid properties of cement-fly ash slurry based on water-cement ratio ( w / c ) (0.75, 1, 1.25, and 1.5), fly ash content (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%) and temperature (20°C, 40°C, 60°C, and 80°C). The bleeding ratio, initial setting time, final setting time, and viscosity were analyzed under coupling conditions. It is found that the water-cement ratio ( w / c ) is the main factor that affects the rheological properties and bleeding rate of slurry. The temperature affects the stability of the slurry in terms that the bleeding ratio of the slurry decreases as the temperature increases. The addition of fly ash enhances the stability of the slurry under different temperature conditions.

This paper monitors the behaviour of compressive strength influenced by variation of water cement ratios and fly ash as partial replacement for cement. The study has express the pressure from this material from water cement ratios and fly ash on the designed mixed for high strength concrete, the study generated various compressive strength base on mixed proportions, this were applied to determine strength development at different mix proportion, such application generated compressive strength values numerically and analytically, this application was applied to compare the strength rate at every twenty four hours and that of seven days interval, the growth rate variation from the water cement ratios was applied to determine the mixed proportion to be applied that will always generate better strength, pending on the level of applied impose loads, furthermore, the study monitor increase rate of fly ash as partial replacement against the percentage dosage of fly ash content, these observed strength at optimum growth were recorded at 25%, variation increase on compressive strength from water cement ratios were between [0.23,0.40 and 0.50] it was observed that water cement ratio of [0.23] obtained the maximum strength compare to [0.40,and 0.50], the study applying modeling and simulation were subjected to model validation, and both parameters developed best fits correlations, the study has express various rate these material can develop strength applying modeling and simulation.

In order to study the coal and gas outburst similar simulation experiment, coal similar material was made up based on the similarity theory. Based on the previous similar material study, the cement, sand, water, activated carbon and coal powder was selected as the raw material of similar material. Meanwhile similar material matching program with 5 factors and 6 levels was designed by using Uniform Design Method. And the physical and mechanical properties of the similar material compressive strength was measured under different proportions circumstances. The relationship between similar material and the raw materials was analyzed. The results show that choosing different materials can compound different similar materials with different requirements. And the water-cement ratio plays a decisive influence on the compressive strength of similar material. The compressive strength of similar material decreases linearly when the water-cement ratio increases.

The paper introduces a kind of foaming plaster with main raw material of α- gypsum, which is produced by utilizing the chemical reaction principles H2O2 was decomposed. Meanwhile,study the changes of density,flexural strength and compressive strength of plaster material performance with the additives in different ratio. The result showed that water-cement ratio, H2O2 foaming agent and water temperature all affect the performance of the foaming plaster.

Derived calculation formula of plastic strength, and used mortar consistency instrument to determine plastic strength. Through experiment, the fly ash and silicon powder that desulfurized or denitrated as grouting materials, its change rules of plastic strength were studid under different water cement ratio and different dosage conditions. Results shows that, between the two factors of water cement ratio and dosage, the water cement ratio affect significantly the plastic strength. The smaller the water cement ratio, the more obvious the increase of the plastic strength as time growth. Early plastic strength of silicon powder grouts is growing rapidly.

Using orthogonal design method of four factors and three levels, make a mix ratio experiment on sleeper concrete of China's railway sleepers, used steam curing concrete early compressive strength (stripping strength) as evaluation index. Study on different experimental factors of water-cement ratio, sand ratio, fly ash and admixture differently influenced on the early strength of sleeper concrete and analyze the difference impact of each factor and level for the orthogonal experiment. The result shows that the admixture is the main factor for early strength of concrete, followed by fly ash, water-cement ratio and sand ratio. It can provide technical guidance for railway sleeper field and has practical value.
