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: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper describes research performed to determine the optimum fly ash content in the high volume system. Optimum is defined as the fly ash content for a given water-cementitious ratio which produces the most economical concrete on the basis of cost per MPa. Three series of concrete mixtures were evaluated. Mixtures were performed at a water cementitious ratio of 0.25, 0.27 and 0.32 at fly ash replacement (based on total cementitious) of 50, 55, 60 and 65 percent. The fly ash content varied from 45 to 60 percent for these tests. Materials included Portland cement; low calcium fly ash from the coal fired thermal generating plant in Lingan, NS; coarse aggregate from a Halifax quarry; fine aggregate (natural sand); superplasticizer; air-entraining mixtures; and concrete mixtures. Compressive strength specimens were cast for laboratory storage and testing at 3, 7, 28, and 91 days. Three specimens were tested at each age.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-volume fly ash concrete (HVFAC) is more cost-efficient, sustainable, and durable than conventional concrete. This report presents a state-of-the-art review of HVFAC properties and different fly ash characterization methods. The main challenges identified for HVFAC for pavements are its early-age properties such as air entrainment, setting time, and strength gain, which are the focus of this research. Five fly ash sources in Illinois have been repeatedly characterized through x-ray diffraction, x-ray fluorescence, and laser diffraction over time. The fly ash oxide compositions from the same source but different quarterly samples were overall consistent with most variations observed in SO3 and MgO content. The minerals present in various fly ash sources were similar over multiple quarters, with the mineral content varying. The types of carbon present in the fly ash were also characterized through x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, loss on ignition, and foam index tests. A new computer vision-based digital foam index test was developed to automatically capture and quantify a video of the foam layer for better operator and laboratory reliability. The heat of hydration and setting times of HVFAC mixes for different cement and fly ash sources as well as chemical admixtures were investigated using an isothermal calorimeter. Class C HVFAC mixes had a higher sulfate imbalance than Class F mixes. The addition of chemical admixtures (both PCE- and lignosulfonate-based) delayed the hydration, with the delay higher for the PCE-based admixture. Both micro- and nano-limestone replacement were successful in accelerating the setting times, with nano-limestone being more effective than micro-limestone. A field test section constructed of HVFAC showed the feasibility and importance of using the noncontact ultrasound device to measure the final setting time as well as determine the saw-cutting time. Moreover, field implementation of the maturity method based on wireless thermal...

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: 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.
