Suitability of Oil Shale Ash as a Constituent of Cement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Physical and chemical characteristics of ashes formed at burning oil shale at temperatures 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 and 1030 °C were studied. Standard procedures were used to determine both pozzolanic activity and binding parameters. The most suitable characteristics were provided with oil shale ash formed at 700 °C. Ashes (15 and 30%) were added to ordinary Portland cement. The optimum pozzolanic characteristics and performances were provided by the mixture containing 15% ashes. The mixes meet the corresponding Turkish standards, and therefore, this oil shale can be used as an admixture in Portland cement.

Effects of Sulphates on Elastic Modulus of Concrete Samples Made from Blends of Cement with Oil Shale Ash
Concrete is a material both weak and strong. Its durability decreases under negative impact of several chemicals. In particular, when some sulphates in sea and ground waters react with cement paste, concrete expands and cracks; therefore, concrete has a very short life span. In that case, either the effects of sulphates should be suppressed as much as possible, or the performance of concrete sh...
متن کاملThe Effect of Sulphate on Length Change of Concrete
Sulphates usually affect calcium aluminates in cements. Sulphate ions might have negative effects on cement hydration and it would be a reason of decrease in cement strength. In this study, the effects of Na2SO4 solution on the concretes made from OPC with oil shale ash (OSA) addition (0, 15 and 30%) were investigated. Concretes with 15% OSA gave the lowest value of Length Change Factor (LCF). ...
