Fly Ash for Concrete - Brochure
Power plants fueled by coal produce more than half of the electricity we consume in the United States today. But in addition to electricity, these plants produce a material that is fast becoming a vital ingredient for improving the performance of a wide range of concrete products. That material is fly ash. Fly ash is comprised of the non-combustible mineral portion of coal. When coal is consumed ...

Fly Ash for Concrete Pipe Manufacturing - Technical Bulletin
Concrete pipe is made by essentially two different processes, one using extremely dry concrete mixtures and the other using plastic concrete mixtures. Dry cast concrete pipe is produced utilizing mechanical and/or vibratory compaction to consolidate dry concrete into a form. The form is removed from the pipe as soon as the casting is finished. With removal of the form, the green pipe is carefully ...

Fly Ash for Structural Concrete - Technical Bulletin
Compressive Strength. Specifications for normal strength concrete generally require a given level of strength in 28 days. Fly ash concrete is easily proportioned to meet strength requirements at this age or any other age ...

Fly Ash for Pumped Concrete - Technical Bulletin
Mix Homogeneity. The designer must be aware of the need to improve gradation and maintain uniformity of the various materials used in the pumped mix in order to achieve greater homogeneity of the total ...

Higher Volume Fly Ash for Concrete Pavement - Technical Bulletin
Historically, fly ash from coal combustion power plants has been utilized for reasons of economy and to maintain workability in warm climates. Experience from coast to coast illustrates how fly ash, in addition to reducing the cubic yard cost of concrete by replacing a portion of the higher priced portland cement, is further reducing the lifecycle cost of roads and bridges by improving concrete ...

Fly Ash for Pavement Concrete - Technical Bulletin
The Romans used naturally occurring volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius to cement the paving stones in their roadways. Many miles of this ancient roadway – although rough by our standards – still exist as useable highway. Today in Europe, paving stones have been replaced by modern day pavement – but a product almost identical to volcanic ash is still used. In fact, most European ...

Fly Ash for Architectural Concrete - Technical Bulletin
Modern fly ash production and use is an integral part of concrete construction. Architects and structural engineers routinely design concrete mixes with fly ash for a wide range of structures, roadways, marine and high strength applications. Proven improvements in durability, permeability, shrinkage and long term strength gain yield better quality ...

Fly Ash for Insulating Concrete Form Construction (ICFs) - Technical Bulletin
Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFS), which became popular in residential construction in the 1990s, are steadily gaining acceptance in the commercial market, as well. ICFs combine framing, insulation, sheeting and shear wall strength into one superior building system that uses concrete as the main structural member from foundation to roof ...

HVFA for Concrete Structures - Technical Bulletin
IN 1981, long before using high volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete in structural applications was an accepted practice, EHDD architects used concrete with 40% fly ash in the seawater holding tanks in the Monterey Bay Aquarium for durability considerations. Since then, concrete throughout the country has regularly utilized 20% to 35% fly ...

Fly Ash in Pervious Concrete - Technical Bulletin
Pervious Concrete is a zero-slump, no-fines, open graded material consisting of portland cement, fly ash, coarse aggregate, admixtures and water. The right configuration of these materials produces a product that allows water to pass though it at the rate of 12-18 gallons per minute per square foot. The void structure of pervious concrete is typically between 18% ...

Fly Ash in Colored Concrete - Technical Bulletin
Colored Concrete generally sells for a significant premium, depending on the desired color (or colors), and is subject to damage from aggressive chemicals, corrosion, salts, sulfates and exposure to harsh environments. Protecting the concrete by including fly ash can yield better, longer lasting colored ...
-
Strength of Fly Ash Concrete - Technical Bulletin
Compressive Strength: Strength gain contributed by portland cement occurs very rapidly at early ages up to about seven days, after which it slows markedly. Strength development contributed by fly ash occurs through chemical combination of reactive fly ash glass with calcium hydroxide generated by hydration of portland cement. This process is called pozzolanic ...

Proportioning Fly Ash Concrete Mixes - Technical Bulletin
These ingredients are converted into solid volumes. The difference between the sum of the total volumes and 27 cubic feet will determine the necessary volume of sand. Sand weight is then calculated to complete the trial mix proportions. The accuracy of this mix must be checked by physically preparing a sample of the proportioned ingredients and testing the mixture for ...

Fly Ash in Hot Weather Concrete - Technical Bulletin
When the Mercury Goes Above 80°F and as placed concrete temperatures rise above 85°, a complex set of problems must be dealt with. The good news is, simple adjustments to the concrete mix or to construction practices may prevent these potential problems. Hot weather has been defined as any period of high temperature in which special precautions need to be taken to ensure proper handling, ...
-
Fly Ash in Cold Weather Concrete - Technical Bulletin
Cold Weather can have detrimental effects on concrete construction unless adjustments are made and precautions are taken to ensure acceptable performance. However, placing concrete in cold weather provides an opportunity for better quality, as cooler initial concrete temperatures will typically result in higher ultimate strengths. Fly ash in conjunction with liquid admixtures such as calcium ...

Fly Ash Decreases the Permeability of Concrete - Technical Bulletin
Permeability is Defined as the coefficient representing “the rate at which water is transmitted through a saturated specimen of concrete under an externally maintained hydraulic gradient”.1 Permeability is inversely linked to durability in that the lower the permeability, the higher the durability of ...

Fly Ash Reduces Vapor Transmission in Concrete Floors - Technical Bulletin
Although it Appears Solid, concrete is actually a maze of capillaries and channels formed by bleed water escaping the concrete after placement. These capillaries and channels provide an avenue for internal and external moisture to be drawn through the concrete to the slab surface. The moisture reacts chemically with alkali hydroxides deposited on the surface of the concrete during hydration, and ...

Energy Savings & Life Cycle Impacts of Fly Ash Use - Technical Bulletin
In June 2008, the US Environmental Protection Agency, in conjunction with the US Department of Transportation and the US Department of Energy, presented a report to Congress entitled “Study on Increasing the Usage of Recovered Mineral Components in Federally Funded Projects Involving Procurement of Cement or Concrete to address the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation ...
