The effects of two super water-reducing admixtures on the compressive strengths and elastic moduli of portland cement mortars containing fly ash were determined. The results show that the effectiveness of the chemicals for improving the strengths of mixtures in which portland cement is partially re

✦ Synopsis
The effect of replacing 30 % of portland cement by Spanish fly ash (class F according to ASTM C-618) and their sized fractions obtained using sieves on compressive and flexural strength of mortars was investigated. The study reveals an enhancement of compressive strength when fineness of fly ash fraction increases, particles with diameter less than 10 lam being crucial.

Modern thermal power plants are producing large amounts of fly ash that is generally quite suitable for use as a supplementary cementitious material in concrete. However, for tilis purpose the fly ash utilization in the United States continues to remain low, mainly on account of lack of quality cont
The study of fly ash as a replacement to mortar workability using a flow table is presented. Flow table spread (FTS) values were measured and correlations among fly ash replacing percentages, water volumes and granulometric distributions of fly ashes have been established.
