Abstract
In this study, the strength and water permeability of concretes containing various types of fly ashes and filler material were investigated. Five types of fly ashes with two levels of fineness and ground-river sand were used to partially replace Portland cement at the dosages of 20 and 40% by weight. Results indicated that pulverized coal combustion fly ash produced concrete with good strength and low permeability. Normal fluidized bed combustion fly ashes containing very irregular particles with pores produced concrete with low strength and relatively low permeability. Fly ash from fluidized bed combustion of coal with biomass materials and fly ash with high amount of CaO and SO 3 produced poor concretes with low strength and high permeability. The increase in fly ash fineness helped improve both strength and permeability of concrete due to the increase in the reactivity of fly ash. Filler material could also be used to replace Portland cement at low replacement level of 20% with small effects on strength and water permeability. #ฉ Carl Hanser Verlag GmbH & Co. KG.
