โฆ Synopsis
Disagreement
exists in the literature as to whether or not fly ash accelerates or retards the early hydration of fly-ash blended cements.
As an outgrowth of this controversy the effects of two fly ashes, a Class C and a Class Fj their leachates and leached fly ash residues upon the first 24 hours of cement hydration were studied.
It was found that both fly ashes (has received and to some degree, leached) retarded a Type I cement hydration; however the fly-ash leachates did not.
The retardation phenomenon is apparently related to the presence and condition of the fly ash surfaces.

Effects of the type and amount of fly ash substitution on the heat of hydration of portland cement-fly ash pastes were investigated. Three Turkish fly ashes were used. One of them was a high-calcium and the other two were low-calcium fly ashes. The specimens contained 0, I0, 20, and 40% fly ash by w
Results are presented ~rom measurements o{ the permeability o~ saturated, hardened cement pastes, with and without fly ash.Specimens tested were cured over a temperature range from 20 to 65ยฐC for periods from seven days to one year. The results show that a dramatic reduction in permeability occurs d
