The Present study was carried out to evaluate the influence of addition of Fibres and Class ‘C’ Flyash on the mechanical properties of concrete. Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC) is very useful in extreme climate where shrinkage of concrete causes cracks. The Fibre Reinforced Flyash concrete (FRFAC) has been successfully used to minimize cavitations / damages in hydraulics structures. The FRC wit...

-The simple replacement technique of cement by fly ash in concrete does not produce a concrete with desirable early strength which is a significant parameter of present day emphasis of speedier construction. Increasing the amount of flyash replacement slows down the strength development at early ages. For effective mix proportioning of fly ash concrete, cementing efficiency factor has to be tak...

It is the purpose of this research to study electrostatic charging mechanisms related to electrostatic beneficiation of coal with the goal of improving models of separation and the design of electrostatic separators. Areas addressed in this technical progress report are (a) electrostatic beneficiation of Pittsburgh #8 coal powders as a function of grind size and processing atmosphere; (b) the u...

Fly ash is one of the surplus products created in the combustion process. In industry, fly ash usually refers to ash produced during combustion of coal and is usually taken from the chimneys of thermal power plants. Currently, in Vietnam burning coal to generate electric energy are necessary. Fly ash discharged occupied huge area and polluting the environment. Thus the study of fly ash recyclin...

Polyaniline-fly ash (PANI-FA) composites were prepared by oxidative polymerization of aniline with fly ash in presence of ammonium persulphate (APS). The PANI-FA composites were prepared with different concentrations of fly ash to aniline ratio. The composites, so prepared, were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (S...
