Fly ash is an important industrial by-product, with more 170 million tonnes produced annually throughout the world. It is the fine particulate material which is collected from the stack gases of power stations burning pulverized coal and it is being increasingly used as a partial replacement for cement in concrete and other cement-based onstruction materials. Substantial research and development programmes in many parts of the world are being undertaken to investigate the properties and performance of fly ash in concrete, to ensure satisfactory, economic utilization. This book s a report on the subject, complied under the auspices of RILEM, the International Union of Testing and Research Laboratories for Materials and Structures. In the first chapter, the characterization and properties of fly ash in relation to the coal and burning conditions in the power station are described. The behaviour of fresh mortar and concrete is covered next. A major part of the book deals with hardened mortar and concrete, and covers hydration, strength, deformations, frost resistance, chemical resistance and carbonation, with special attention given to the deformation behaviour of fly ash concretes. T
This book is a state-of-the-art report which documents current knowledge on the properties of fly ash in concrete and the use of fly ash in construction. It includes RILEM Recommendations on fly ash in concrete and a comprehensive bibliography including over 800 references.
