✦ Synopsis


The paper presents preliminary details of a laboratory study aimed at identifying the mechanism or mechanisms whereby the incorporation of fly ash influences the strength of lean concrete mixes suitable for use in the construction of concrete gravity dams.

It involved a scanning electron microsope study and compressive strength evaluation of the paste fractlon and covered a range of mixes containing various amounts of a single supply of fly ash. Test specimens were cured at 20°C and at 40°C, data being obtained at intervals of seven days up to the age of three months for the main part of the investigation. In addition, some autoclave tests were undertaken and, for specimens cured at 20°C, strength tests were also carried out at ages up to twelve months.

Although it is not possible to propose a firm hypothesis, the study Vol. II, No. 4 D.G. Montgomery, et al.

diesen Gesamten Zeitnaam von dre± Monaten im Hauptteil der interswchung welter hin wurden Tests ein Autoclave vorgenomman, so wie Testigkeits best~mmungen an Proben bis zo zwolf Monate alt.

Obwobl es nicht moglich ist, eine feste Hypothese zum erstellen, nehmen wir cleich an, dasz die elnfanglircheErtwlcklung der Festlgkeit Hauptsachlich durch die physische anwesenkeit der Flugascheteilchen beeinfluszt wird, und nicht dutch die Veranderrung der Partikel durch chemische Reaktion.

Die Zunahme der Testigkeit in alteren proben ist wohl dock Pozzolanische beclingt und weiter intersuchungen sind nodig Klarung dieses voorganges.

It is a well known fact that the reaction of fly ash in concrete, only starts significantly after one or more weeks. Until this period the fly ash behaves more or less as an inert material, which only serves as a precipitation nucleus for Ca(OH) 2 and C-S-H gel originating from the cement hydration.

The influence of fly ash on the basic characteristics of lightweight and ordinary concretes subject to heat treatment has been studied. The use of fly ash increases the strength of lightweight concretes, reduces cement consumption by 15 to 25%, and permits a decrease in concrete mean density (by 100
