The influence of air content by assessing the pozzolanic activity of fly ash by strength testing

The pozzolanic activity of fly ash and natural pozzolans are generally assessed by a compressive strength test with Portland cement in a mortar. A test mix in which part of the Portland cement is replaced by fly ash is compared with a control mix with pure Portland cement. When testing cement according to such procedures the influence of varying air contents in the test mortars can be comparable to that of other factors, hence complicating the interpretation of results. Fly ash seems to affect the air void content in mortar in two ways: By a direct contribution from hollow or porous particles in the fly ash and by reducing the amount of entrained air, an effect which is apparently caused by the residual carbon present in the fly ash.These aspects are elucidated by examples from laboratory experiments with fly ash.     

Characteristics and pozzolanic reactivity of glass powders

This paper deals with the morphology, fineness and pozzolanic activity of four glass powders: one (GP-fine) from the screening of crushed waste glasses, one (GP-dust) from a dust collector for the glass crushing process and two (GP-4000 and GP-6000) from further grinding of the powder from the dust collector in a ball mill. GP-fine and GP-dust consist mainly of large flaky particles, while GP-4000 and GP-6000 consist mainly of small angular particles. The finenesses of these glass powders are measured by particle size distribution and Blaine fineness method. For a similar particle size distribution, ground glass powder has a higher Blaine specific surface area than Portland cement due to the angular morphology of glass particles. Finely ground glass powders exhibited very high pozzolanic activity. The finer the glass powder is, the higher its pozzolanic reactivity is. An increase in curing temperature accelerates the activation of pozzolanic reactivity of both glass powder and coal fly ash in terms of strength development rate. Mortar cube strength results (ASTM C109) indicated that curing temperature has a greater influence on the glass powder than on fly ash. The rapid mortar bar expansion test (ASTM C1260) results indicate that the replacement of Portland cement with ground glass powder also reduces the expansion due to alkali-aggregate reactions, although it is not as effective as coal fly ash.     

Use of ground coarse fly ash as a replacement of condensed silica fume in producing high-strength concrete

This paper presents a method of improving coarse fly ash in order to replace condensed silica fume in making high-strength concrete. The coarse fly ash, having the average median diameter about 90-100 μm, yields a very low pozzolanic reaction and should not be used in concrete. In order to improve its quality, the coarse fly ash was ground until the average particle size was reduced to 3.8 μm. Then, it was used to replace Portland cement type I by weights of 0%, 15%, 25%, 35%, and 50% to produce high-strength concrete. It was found that concrete containing the ground coarse fly ash (FAG) replacement between 15% and 50% can produce high-strength concrete and 25% cement replacement gave the highest compressive strength. In addition, the concrete containing FAG of 15-35% as cement replacement exhibited equal or higher compressive strengths after 60 days than those of condensed silica fume concretes. The results, therefore, suggest that the FAG with high fineness is suitable to use to replace condensed silica fume in producing high-strength concrete.     

Ultrafine grinding of sugar cane bagasse ash for application as pozzolanic admixture in concrete

Sugar cane bagasse ash, a byproduct of sugar and alcohol production, is a potential pozzolanic material. However, its effective application in mortar and concrete requires first the controlled use of grinding and classification processes to allow it to achieve the fineness and homogeneity that are required to meet industry standards. The present paper investigates the role of mill type and grinding circuit configuration in grinding in laboratory- and pilot plant-scale on the particle size, specific surface area and pozzolanic activity of the produced ashes. It was observed that, although different size distributions were produced by the different mills and milling configurations, the pozzolanic activity of the ground ash was directly correlated to its fineness, characterized by its 80% passing size or Blaine specific surface area. From a low pozzolanic activity of less than 50% of the as-received ash, values above 100% could be reached after prolonged grinding times. Electric power requirements to reach the minimum pozzolanic activity were estimated to be in the order of 42 kWh/t in an industrial ball mill. Incorporation of an ultrafinely-ground ash in a high-performance concrete in partial replacement of Portland cement (10, 15 and 20% by mass) resulted in no measurable change in mechanical behavior, but improved rheology and resistance to penetration of chloride ions.     

Influence of fly ash fineness on strength, drying shrinkage and sulfate resistance of blended cement mortar

In this paper, the influence of fineness of fly ash on water demand and some of the properties of hardened mortar are examined. In addition to the original fly ash (OFA), five different fineness values of fly ash were obtained by sieving and by using an air separator. Two sieves, Nos. 200 and 325, were used to obtain two lots of graded fine fly ash. For the classification using air separator, the OFA was separated into fine, medium and coarse portions. The fly ash dosage of 40% by weight of binder was used throughout the experiment. From the tests, it was found that the compressive strength of mortar depended on the fineness of fly ash. The strength of mortar containing fine fly ash was better than that of OFA mortar at all ages with the very fine fly ash giving the highest strength. The use of all fly ashes resulted in significant improvement in drying shrinkage with the coarse fly ash showing the least improvement owing primarily to the high water to binder ratio (W/B) of the mix. Significant improvement of resistance to sulfate expansion was obtained for all fineness values except for the coarse fly ash where greater expansion was observed. The resistance to sulfuric acid attack was also improved with the incorporation of all fly ashes. In this case the coarse fly ash gave the best performance with the lowest rate of the weight loss owing probably to the better bonding of the coarse fly ash particles to the cement matrix and less hydration products. It is suggested that the fine fly ash is more reactive and its use resulted in a denser cement matrix and better mechanical properties of mortar.

Properties of fly ash-modified cement mortar-aggregate interfaces

This paper investigates the effect of fly ash on strength and fracture properties of the interfaces between the cement mortar and aggregates. The mortars were prepared at a water-to-binder ratio of 0.3, with fly ash replacements from 15 to 55%. Notched mortar beams were tested to determine the flexural strength, fracture toughness, and fracture energy of the plain cement and fly-ash modified cement mortars. Another set of notched beams with mortar-aggregate interface above the notch was tested to determine the flexural strength, fracture toughness, and fracture energy of the interface. Mortar-aggregate interface cubes were tested to determine the splitting strength of the interface. It was found that a 15% fly ash replacement increased the interfacial bond strength and fracture toughness. Fly ash replacements at the levels of 45 and 55% reduced the interfacial bond strength and fracture toughness at 28 days, but recovered almost all the reduction at 90 days. Fly ash replacement at all levels studied increased the interfacial fracture energy. Fly ash contributed to the interfacial properties mainly through the pozzolanic effect. For higher percentages of replacement, the development of interfacial bond strength initially fell behind the development of compressive strength. But at later ages, the former surpassed the latter. Strengthening of the interfaces leads to higher long-term strength increases and excellent durability for high-volume fly ash concrete.     

Prediction model of compressive strength development of fly-ash concrete

Based on experimental results concerning the compressive strength development of concrete containing fly ash, the authors derived an estimation equation for compressive strength development. The equation can express coefficient , which indicates the activity of fly ash as a binder, in the form of a function of age, fly-ash content, and Blaine specific surface area of fly ash.

This equation is capable of explaining the increases in the early strength due to fly ash in place of part of fine aggregate, the decreases in the early strength due to fly ash in place of part of cement, the increases in the long-term strength due to pozzolanic reaction, the relationship between the fly-ash replacement ratio and the ratio of strength increase/decrease, and the effect of fly ash's Blaine specific surface area on the strength.

Influence of fly ash and its mean particle size on certain engineering properties of cement composite mortars

An experimental investigation on the effects of incorporating large volumes of fly ash on the early engineering properties and long-term strength of masonry mortars is reported. The effect of fly ash and its mean particle size (PD) on the variation of workability and strength has been studied. It was found that fly ash and its mean particle size play a very significant role on the strength of masonry mortars. It has been observed that the early-term strength, except the mortars incorporating coarse fly ash (CFA), was slightly influenced by the replacement with fly ash. The long-term strength (both the bond strength and the compressive strength) will significantly increase, especially for the bond strength of mortars incorporating coarse fly ash. It was also found that the bond strength significantly increased as the mean particle size of fly ash decreases after 28 days curing. However, the 7-day strength was little influenced by fly ash particle size. The fluidity of composite mortar enhanced due to replace cement and lime with fly ash, and the mean PD of fly ash significantly influenced the workability.     

The composition and pozzolanic properties of pulverised fuel ashes

The pozzolanic activities of the fly ashes and other materials examined in previous papers^1,2 have been determined by two chemical methods based on estimating the amount of acid-soluble material that is produced when a pozzolan reacts with lime. The conclusions reached from these results, on the relative importance of the factors that determine the activity of an ash, agree with those previously based on the crushing strengths of fly ash mortars, as already presented. There was a close relation between the amount of chemical reaction taking place in a mortar and the strength it developed, but short-term chemical assessments showed no relation to long-term crushing strengths. It was concluded that chemical methods were unlikely to have any practical value for predicting the long-term strength of a mortar in the field.     

Hydration of Portland cement with high replacement by siliceous fly ash

The effects of two different low calcium fly ashes on the hydration of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) pastes containing 50 wt.% of fly ash were investigated over a hydration time of 550 days. The results were compared with a reference blend of OPC containing 50 wt.% of inert quartz powder allowing the distinction between "filler effect" and pozzolanic reaction.Until 2 days, no evidence of fly ash reaction was measured and its influence on the hydration is mainly related to the “filler effect”. From 7 days on, the effects of the pozzolanic reaction were observed by the consumption of portlandite, the change of the pore solution chemistry, the formation of a presumably water-rich inner hydration product and the change of the C–S–H composition towards higher Al/Si ratio compared to the C–S–H of neat OPC. Additional strength due to the pozzolanic reaction developed after 28 days of hydration.

颗粒级配对高掺量粉煤灰干混砂浆性能影响的研究

依据颗粒紧密堆积理论,一般采用Andreasen方程计算粉体紧密堆积用于表征粉体颗粒的级配作用.通过研究不同粒径粉煤灰对高粉煤灰掺量干混砂浆的性能影响,研究得出:颗粒太细的粉煤灰,会更加偏离原来的紧密堆积状态,不但不能充分发挥其微观填充的补强作用,反而大大降低强度.因此,使用粉煤灰与水泥复合掺配时,特别是高粉煤灰掺量,需要考虑颗粒与颗粒之间的相互补充作用,使胶凝材料的颗粒粒径分布更趋近于紧密堆积,从而提高基体材料的密实度,保持较高干混砂浆性能.

Use of zeolite, coal bottom ash and fly ash as replacement materials in cement production

In this research, the effects of zeolite, coal bottom ash and fly ash as Portland cement replacement materials on the properties of cement are investigated through three different combinations of tests. These materials are substituted for Portland cement in different proportions, and physical properties such as setting time, volume expansion, compressive strength and water consistency of the mortar are determined. Then, these physical properties are compared with those of PC 42.5. The results showed that replacement materials have some effects on the mechanical properties of the cement. The inclusion of zeolite up to the level of 15% resulted in an increase in compressive strength at early ages, but resulted in a decrease in compressive strength when used in combination with fly ash. Also, setting time was decreased when zeolite was substituted. The results obtained were compared with Turkish Standards (TS), and it was found that they are above the minimum requirements.     

Activation of Pozzolanic Reaction of Hydrated Portland Cement Fly Ash Pastes in Sulfate Solution

The activation of the pozzolanic reaction of fly ash in portland cement paste immersed in sulfate solution has been studied. Mixtures of two Spanish fly ashes (ASTM class F) with 0%, 15%, and 35% replacement of portland cement by fly ash were immersed in Na₂SO₄ solution, of 2880 ppm SO₄²⁻ concentration, for a period of 90 days. The resistance of the different mixtures to the sulfate attack was evaluated using the Koch-Steinegger test. The results showed that all of the mixtures were sulfate resistant, despite the high Al₂O₃ content of the fly ash. The diffusion of SO₄²⁻ and Na⁺ ions through the pore solution activated the pozzolanic reactivity of the fly ashes, causing microstructural changes, which were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). As a result, the flexural strength of the mixtures increased, principally for the fly ash of a lower particle size and 35% of addition.
