Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a high-performance widely used as building material. The present investigation examines the effects of age and cooling type (air-cooled water-cooled) SCC after being exposed to elevated temperatures compares them those normal conventional (NCC). Two types concrete; i.e., NCC SCC, were developed studied for early-age residual strengths. was with three different ...

in the present investigation, the cyclic load deformation behaviour of soil-fly ash layered system isstudied using different intensities of failure load (i = 25%, 50% and 75%) with varying number of cycles (n =10, 50 and 100). an attempt has been made to establish the use of fly ash as a fill material for embankments ofhighways and railways and to examine the effect of cyclic loading on the lay...

The volume of solid waste produced in the world is increasing annually, and disposing of such wastes is a growing problem. Fly ash (FA) is a form of solid waste that is derived from the combustion of coal. Research has shown that fly ash may be disposed of by using it to amend agricultural soils. This review addresses the feasibility of amending agricultural field soils with fly ash for the pur...

The paper is showing how to measure, by means of the segmentation of a SEM image, the cross-sections of the particles in fly ash.

Results of experimental investigation carried out to study the effects of addition of natural san fibres on the fracture toughness and impact strength of high-volume fly ash concrete are presented in this paper. San fibres belong to the category of ‘Natural Bast Fibres’, also known as ‘Sunn Hemp’. Its scientific (botanical) name is Crotalaria Juncea. It is mostly grown in the Indian Sub-Contine...

The sedimentation behavior of fine grained soil is largely dependent on its pore fluid chemistry. Physicochemical properties of the pore fluid, such as ionic strength and pH, could greatly influence the micro structure of kaolinite which in turn influences the sedimentation behavior. Other than ionic effect, adding fly ash can also cause different sedimentation behaviors due to the change of gr...

Recyclable concrete pavement was made from fly ash and crushed limestone sand and gravel as aggregates so that the concrete pavement could be recycled to raw materials for cement production. With the aim to use as much fly ash as possible for the sustainable development of society, while achieving adequate strength development, pavement concrete having a cement-replacement ratio of 40% by mass ...

The Bayer process utilises high concentrations of caustic and elevated temperature to liberate alumina from bauxite, for the production of aluminium and other chemicals. Within Australia, this process results in 40 million tonnes of mineral residues (Red mud) each year. Over the same period, the energy production sector will produce 14 million tonnes of coal combustion products (Fly ash). Both ...
