β¦ Synopsis
Five fly ash concretes were found to gain considerable strength beyond 28 days when standard cured in water at 20Β°C. However, strength development came to an almost complete stop after 3Β½ years, at what time the fly ash activity factors with respect to concrete compressive strength ranged from 0.86 to 0.93.

The strength of concrete at early ages has assumed a co~iderable significance in recent years due to the several specific requirements ot the modern construction industry, like the early striking or forms, early transfer of prestress etc. However, fly ash concretes are known to-have a lower early ag
A factorial experiment was designed to measure the sorptivity of cement and fly ash concretes in order to compare the durability of fly ash concrete against the -cement concrete. Sorptivity measurements based on the capillary movement of water was made on three grades of cement concrete and six grad
The effectiveness, K, of a fly ash can be defined as the ratio of the amount of cement replaced to the amount of fly ash added, provided the specified requirements of the concrete are maintained. It is generally assumed that the effectiveness of a fly ash can be treated as a constant. This paper pre
Changes in length, compressive strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity and pulse velocity of high fly ash content concrete with replacement levels of up to 50 % when completely immersed in the IO % Na2S04 solution were periodically measured for 2 years. It was found from the measurements of mechani
