Abstract

The paper describes possibilities of making use of high temperature combustion fly ash for production of concrete more effective. Efforts for maximal utilization of high temperature combustion fly ash are supported by high production of fly ash worldwide. Use of high temperature fly ash for concrete has to take into account considerably lower speed of hydration reactions compared to pure Portland cement. The paper states results of experimental determination of optimal dosage of fly ash as partial replacement of cement. Dosage of fly ash for production of concrete was optimized. Test results proved positive effect of dosage of fly ash with respect to granulometry of used cement and fly ash. Taking granulometry of fly ash and cement into consideration improves physico-mechanical properties of concrete compared to concrete with fly ash designed standardly without considering granulometry.
