Problem of disposal:
In India alone, we produce 75 million tons of fly
ash every year, the disposal of which has become a
serious environmental problem. The effective use
of fly ash in concrete making is therefore attracting
serious considerations of concrete technologists
and government departments.
Global CO2 emissions:
Global cement production is about 1.3 billion tons
in 1996 and production of every 1 ton of cement
emits 0.87 ton of carbon dioxide.
•In mass concrete placements the excess internal heat may contribute to
cracking.
•The use of Fly Ash may greatly reduce this heat build up and reduce
external cracking.
COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH:
Typically, concrete made with fly ash will be slightly lower in
strength than straight cement concrete up to 28 days, equal
strength at 28 days, and substantially higher strength within a
year’s time.
Thus, fly ash concrete achieves significantly higher ultimate
strength than can be achieved with conventional concrete.
COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH TEST:
FLY ASH CONCRETE:
NEED FOR EXTENDING STRENGTH
SPECIFICATIONS BEYOND 28 DAYS
Developing sustainable concrete to last more than 100
years requires extending the 28-day specifications.
