Introducing supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), e.g. fly ash, into cement composite results in ecological benefits. However, in the case of high amount of SCM used as a replacement of a part of cement, there are problems related to the development of the desired properties of the final composite. Such mixtures often …



In this study, Afşin Elbistan C-type fly ash (FA) was used, which protects against the sulphate reaction that damages concrete. The detrimental effects of post-reaction decrease with increasing fly ash fineness. The study used 10%, 30%, and 50% weight substitutes of cement. The fly ash was ground in a ball mill for 0, 10, 20, 30, 45, …



The study was aiming to investigate the effect of partial replacement of cement by cattle bone ash (CBA) in a concrete property. Complete silicate analysis of CBA shows that the material has high calcium oxide content (43.26%) which is the major oxide compound of cement. A C-25 concrete grade was selected for this study.

directly determined using Vicat Apparatus [39-42]. The cement pastes were then cast using the predetermined water of consistency, moulded into one inch cubic stainless steel moulds (2.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 cm3) using about 500 g cement mix, vibrated manually for three minutes and then on a mechanical vibrator for another three minutes.







Sugarcane is a widely cultivated crop worldwide, with a global production exceeding 1.5 billion tonnes. Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) refers to the fibrous residue left behind after sugarcane stalks are crushed to extract juice for sugar production [6].Bagasse is a by-product of the sugarcane industry and is regarded as a waste material, as …









1. Introduction. Fly ash, a byproduct of coal-fired power plants, has been wildly used in cement and concrete technology for long time because of many reasons, such as reducing carbon footprint, decreasing hydration heat, enhancing long-age strength, improving durability and lower price [1], [2], [3], [4].However, decreased early-age …







Effects of Fly Ash on Concrete 1. On Amount of Mixing Water. The use of fly ash in limited amounts as a replacement for cement or as an addition to cement requires a little more water for the same slump because of fineness of the fly ash. It is generally agreed that the use of fly ash, particularly as an admixture rather than as a …





The basic aim of this study was to investigate the effect of wood ash obtained from uncontrolled burning of Sawdust on the strength development of concrete (Compressive strength, Flexural strength and Split Tensile strength) for two different water–cement ratio and to develop a regression model using Support Vector Machines …















The major beneficial effect of fly ash in concrete is based on its physical properties. Filler effect. Fly ash fills voids in the fresh concrete normally filled with water, reducing the water content of the mix. The reduction of water demand partially compensates for the reduced early strength. On the other hand, it is essential to consider ...











Sewage sludge used in this study was collected from West City Sewage Treatment Plant in Changsha. The use of polymeric aluminum chloride (AlCl 3) flocculant in wastewater treatment process results in high content of aluminum (17.92%) and low calcium content (2%) in sewage sludge.P.I 42.5 Portland cement produced from Fushun …



The objective of this paper is to comprehensively explore the effect of NaOH on the fly ash and metakaolin-based geopolymers concrete, highlighting their mechanical strength and potential challenges. In this study the fly ash was replace with 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of metakaolin at 1 M, 3 M, 5 M and 7 M of NaOH molar concentration to …



XRF analysis of the ordinary Portland cement and RHA is reproduced in Table1.The mean specific gravity of RHA, sand, and Portland cement was 2.45, 1.74, and 3.11 g/cm 3, respectively.The BET surface area of RHA was found to be 165 m 2 /g. The particle size of RHA was calculated from SEM images (Fig. 1 a as an example) and …
