The composition and physical features of oil shale ash pastes were determined and compared with the corresponding properties of portland cement paste. In the first part presented here, the composition, chemically combined water, porosity (total, capillary and gel porosity), pore-slze and pore-slze

โฆ Synopsis
It was shown that the structures and properties of both ash and cement pastes can be described and explained by the same structural models.
At the same age, and for the same water/binder ratio, the ash pastes, however, exhibited higher total and capillary porosities, lower specific surface area and, to the age of 28 days, greater threshold diameter.
The strength of both systems was essentially the same implying that intrinsic strength of the gel of the ash was greater than that of the cement.

The oil crisis has prompted renewed interest in direct burning of oil shale as an alternative energy source. Amajor problem in this process is the large portion of ash produced. The cementing properties of this ash were investigated to determine its applicability as a building material. In this pap
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
