Results of thermogravimetric tests on hardened cement pastes containing fly ash are reported. Ashes derived from subbituminous and lignite coal were used at replacement levels of 30~c and 50~ by weight. Thermal analysis was performed on samples which were water cured for various ages from 3 days to

✦ Synopsis
The Two Goal Approach was applied to the maximization of fly ash quantity (i.e. minimization of energy consumption) in producing cement of acceptable mechanical characteristics.Mathematical model of the optimization problem consists of two objective functions; a requirement concerning ash quantity and a condition upon particular mechanical property.All data were obtained by a kind of the Mixture Design experiments, i.e. mixtures were made, by blending of various quantities of usually used components with fly ash , and their characteristics were determined by the standardized methods. The procedure was applied to a few chosen examples and optimal quantities of fly ash were suggested.

This paper considers the sulfate corrosion of Portland cement-pure and blended with 30 wt% of fly ash. As raw materials, three kinds of Portland cements, with different content of GA (5.45-l 1.84 wt%), were applied. Fly ash was added so as to decrease the GA content (to 3.82-8.29 v&Oh). The test sam
By-product fly ash from coal combustion influences the properties of cement pastes significantly.A study has been carried out to contribute to understanding the behavior and function of fly ash and other substituents in cement pastes. Comparisons are made with the properties of pastes of as-recelved
A method is proposed here to quantify fly ash in cements and mortars using high resolutlon gamma spectrometry assuming provided the source of the fly ash is known. The method was tested for nine samples of Portland 450 cement and fly ash from coal thermal power stations in Andorra (Teruel), Cercs (B
## Abstract The enhancement in the workability of Portland cement concrete when coal fly ashes are added to the mix is well‐known. This behaviour has been attributed to the spherical shape and the smooth surface of the fly ash particles. On the other hand, when other combustion residues with pozzol
