Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High Volume Fly Ash Concrete (HVFA) is a type of concrete that incorporates a large volume of fly ash as a partial replacement for Portland cement. Fly ash is a by-product of coal combustion that is collected from power plants, and it has pozzolanic properties that can enhance the durability, workability, and strength of concrete. In HVFA, the replacement of Portland cement with fly ash typically ranges from 50% to 70% by mass, resulting in a reduction in the amount of cement required and a decrease in the carbon footprint of the concrete. However, this high volume of fly ash can also affect the behavior of the concrete in structural design. One of the main challenges in designing with HVFA concrete is the potential for delayed strength development. Fly ash reacts slowly with water, and this can result in a longer period for the concrete to reach its desired strength. This delayed strength development must be taken into account in the design process to ensure that the concrete can support the intended loads. Additionally, the use of HVFA can also affect the workability and setting time of the concrete. The high amount of fly ash can make the mixtures more viscous and harder to place, and it can also result in longer setting times. This can impact the construction schedule and require adjustments to be made in the mix design and placement procedures. On the other hand, HVFA can also provide benefits in structural design. The lower heat of hydration and reduced shrinkage characteristics of HVFA can minimize the potential for cracking and improve the long-term durability of the concrete. Furthermore, the use of fly ash can contribute to the overall sustainability of the project by reducing the carbon footprint and diverting waste from landfills. Overall, the behavior of HVFA concrete in structural design requires careful consideration of its unique properties and potential challenges. With proper mix design and construction practices, HVFA can provide a durable and sustainable option for concrete structures.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Concrete is the most widely used man-made material on the planet. Unfortunately, producing Portland cement generates carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) at roughly a pound for pound ratio. High-volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete- concrete with at least 50% of the cement replaced with fly ash - offers a potential "green" solution. However, because it is still relatively new and has some disadvantages, there are still many questions that need to be answered. Most research to date has consisted only of the evaluation of the strength and durability of HVFA concrete mixtures, while only a limited number of studies have implemented full-scale testing of specimens constructed with HVFA concrete to determine its potential use in the industry. For this research, a laboratory testing program was developed to investigate the shear performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams constructed with HVFA concrete. The experimental program consisted of 36 tests performed on full-scale RC beams. The principal parameters investigated were: (1) concrete type (HVFA or conventional concrete), (2) amount of shear reinforcement, and (3) amount of longitudinal (flexural) reinforcement. The full-scale beams in this study were analyzed using several different approaches, including the standard truss model, modified compression field theory, and fracture mechanics formulations. The full-scale test results were compared to the theoretical results using design approaches contained in several codes common to North America and Europe. The results indicate that existing design code provisions for conventional concrete are equally applicable to the design of HVFA concrete"--Abstract, leaf iii.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A best practices guide is developed from a synthesis of recent research on high-volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete mixtures. These best practices can be applied by the concrete construction industry to achieve desired properties and to ensure the (high) performance of HVFA concrete mixtures in practice. As such, the report considers all aspects of HVFA concrete production, from the characterization of the starting materials, through mixture proportioning and curing options to achieve desired properties, to the in-place early-age and long-term performance of the concrete in its fresh and hardened states. Both mechanical and transport properties are considered in detail. Perspective is established based on a brief review of current practices being employed nationally. Each topical section is concluded with a practice-based set of recommendations for the design and construction community. The report is intended to serve as a valuable resource to these communities, providing both a research summary and a guide to practical steps that can be taken to achieve the optimum performance of these sustainable concrete mixtures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the use of small proportion of fly ash in the binder of concrete is well understood and accepted in many countries, the technology relating to the use of high volume (40% by weight or more of binder) of fly ash in structural concrete is a more recent development. This paper discusses the development of high volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete in Australia and overseas with specific emphasis on its potential applications. Mix design method and data are described. It has been found that HVFA concrete can be designed within the constraints of the present Australian code of practice to give equivalent 28 day compressive strength to plain cement concrete. However, the volume stability and durability properties of HVFA concretes have been found to be significantly better than the equivalent plain cement concrete. With its inherent increased cohesiveness and long term properties, potential applications are identified and discussed with respect to the specific properties.

This book was released on 2024-01-20 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When infrastructure is built quickly, development occurs. Concrete is the go-to material for construction projects. Manufacturing cement is a significant contributor to atmospheric carbon dioxide. Using carbon-neutral materials like crimson mud or powdered snail shells can reduce cement's carbon dioxide emissions by half. As an adaptable alternative to traditional concrete, HVFA concrete has many uses. Long-lasting and useful in Plain Cement Concrete (PCC) projects, fly ash also enhances concrete's workability. The positive effects of fly ash on the environment, such as lower carbon dioxide emissions, are not new. Adding fly ash to concrete increases its strength and segregation, which reduces its price and makes it simpler to pump.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper describes the development of high volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete for structural concrete and pavements. Trials carried out at Pacific Power's Mount Piper Power Station project in New South Wales is also described. Concretes with high fly ash content (40% and above by weight of the total binder fractions) were designed for structural grades. The workability, mechanical and long-term volume stability properties were evaluated. It was found that HVFA concrete could be designed having fresh concrete properties similar to plain cement concrete with the exception of setting times. HVFA concretes with characteristic compressive strength up to 5O MPa could be produced. For concretes of similar strength grades, it was found that the flexural strength and elastic modulus properties of HVFA concretes were similar to plain cement concretes. HVFA concretes were found to have similar or lower drying shrinkage at 56 days when compared to companion plain cement concretes of equivalent grades. Creep strains were also improved significantly in HVFA concretes. The setting times were increased by one to SLY hours depending on the type of cement and percentage of fly ash used. The concretes also developed considerable strength after 24 hours to withstand loading from normal construction activities. Trial production and placing of these concretes for apron slabs and road pavements was carried out at the Pacific Power's Mount Piper Power Station. It was found that HVFA concrete could be produced and placed successfully through normal concreting practices including pumping. A 5 to 6% air content could also be entrained with normal air entraining agent. The finished pavement looked similar to that placed using conventional concrete. While severe retardation in setting was found in the last two trials, it was subsequently found that it was caused by the incompatibility between the water reducing agent and the binder system. Long-term performance of these concretes are being monitored.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The main objective of this study was to determine the effect on bond performance of high-volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete and self-consolidating concrete (SCC). The HVFA concrete test program consisted of comparing the bond performance of two concrete mix designs with 70% cement replacement with Class C fly ash relative to a Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) standard mix design. The SCC test program consisted of comparing the bond performance of normal and high strength SCC with their respective MoDOT standard mix designs. Two test methods were used for bond strength comparisons. The first was a direct pull-out test based on the RILEM 7-II-128 "RC6: Bond test for reinforcing steel. 1. Pullout test" (RILEM, 1994). The direct pull-out tests were performed on specimens with #4 (#13) and #6 (#19) deformed reinforcing bars. The second test method consisted of a full-scale beam splice test specimen subjected to a four-point loading until failure of the splice. This test method is a non-ASTM test procedure that is generally accepted as the most realistic test method for both development and splice length. The beam splice tests were performed on beams with #6 (#19) reinforcing bars spliced at midspan at a specific length to ensure bond failure occurs prior to shear or flexural failure. Analysis of the HVFA concrete data indicates that using greater than 50% replacement of cement with fly ash in concrete does not result in any increase in the required development length of mild reinforcing. Analysis of the SCC data indicates that using SCC does not result in any increase in the required development length of mild reinforcing"--Abstract, Leaf iii.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Concrete is produced more than any other material in the world. Sustainable construction is extremely important in today's industry and fly ash is the leading material for sustainable concrete design. The addition of fly ash improves many fresh and hardened concrete properties. However, the slow hydration process associated with fly ash makes the use of the material in large amounts undesirable in conventional construction. This study evaluated the hardened concrete and durability performance of several high-volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete mixes. The various HVFA concrete mixes evaluated within this study consisted of 70 percent replacement of portland cement by weight of cementitious material and water-to-cementitious ratios (w/cm) ranging from 0.30 to 0.45. Studies were conducted on hardened properties including: compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, and modulus of rupture. A shrinkage analysis was also performed to evaluate drying and free shrinkage. The durability performance of the HVFA concrete was also evaluated. Results obtained from the tests revealed that compressive strengths of HVFA concrete are comparable to portland cement concrete with a reduced w/cm. Also, a reduction in concrete shrinkage was observed for HVFA concrete. The durability testing showed HVFA concrete increased the corrosion resistance and decreased the chloride penetration. Finally, existing relationships for hardened material properties and durability of conventional concretes are applicable to HVFA concretes"--Abstract, p. iii
