Early age assessment of cement mortar incorporated high volume fly ash

Abstract The technique of replacing the cement with other alternative materials focuses on production similar performance and reduced environmental impacts relative to traditional cement. main aim this study is investigate effect content high volume Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA) mechanical mortar. Three mixtures were prepared different percentages PFA (20%, 40% 60%) as replacement along mixture that made 100% a control mixture. In order evaluate mortars, compressive strength Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) tests after 7, 14 28 days curing was used. results indicated for all ages curing, increase contents caused reduction in UPV comparison After incorporated 20% has value Such findings will significantly contribute reducing cost produced mortar by amount used consequently reduce demands/manufacturing. Less Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions industry.
