Fly ash possesses pozzolanic properties similar to the natu-rally occurring pozzolans of volcanic or sedimentary origin found in many parts of the world. Two thousand years ago, the Romans mixed volcanic ash with lime, aggregate, and water to produce mortar and concrete (Vitruvius 1960). In modern concrete, fly ash combines with calcium hydroxide

Mar 24, 2025 · Fly ash is a by-product from the combustion of pulverized coal, and is widely used as an ingredient in hydraulic-cement concrete. Because it improves many desirable properties of concrete, it is introduced either as a separately batched material or as a …

May 1, 1999 · This article describes the amount of CO2 being contributed by the portland cement industry, and discusses how these emissions can be reduced considerably by the increased use of large volumes of fly ash and other supplementary cementing materials in the concrete industry.

A. Fly ash is the finely divided residue that results from the combustion of ground or powdered coal and that is transported by flue gasses from the combustion zone to the particle removal system. ASTM C618 provides classification for Class F and Class C.

Apr 1, 1993 · Some of the most promising substitutes or supplementary cementing materials are high- and low-calcium fly ashes, ferrous and nonferrous slags, condensed silica fume, and rice husk ash. This paper presents a review on the use of these by-products in concrete.

Jul 1, 2002 · In recent years, an emerging technology known as high-performance high-volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete has become available, which incorporates large volumes of fly ash into conventional portland cement concrete.
