What is Fly Ash? Fly ash is one of the residues generated in the
combustion of coal. Fly ash is generally captured from the chimneys of coal-fired power plants.
Chemically, fly ash is a pozzolan. When mixed with lime (calcium hydroxide), pozzolans combine to form cementitious compounds.

More than 2000 years ago, Greeks and Romans built structures that survive today that took advantage of the pozzolan-lime reaction.
Romans used pozzolana cement to build the Appian Way, The Roman baths, The Coliseum and Pantheon in Rome. These structures still exist today!

Classification-
Class F fly ash:
Fly ash that is produced from the burning of anthracite or bituminous coal is referred as Class F fly ash.
Class C fly ash.
Fly ash that is produced from the burning of lignite or sub bituminous coal is referred as Class C fly ash. Most Class C fly ashes have self-cementing properties.

Uses of Fly ash
Used in cementFly Ash blended cement
(PPC) too is gaining acceptance. The share of Ordinary Portland Cement is projected to decline to 57.9% from 71% by the year 2011.
Used in concrete.
In concrete it is used normally as main ingredient.
Usage ranges from 15% to 60%.
e.g.-high volume fly ash concrete (HVFAC)

Properties of HVFA ConcreteEasier flowability, pumpability, and compactability
Slower setting time
Early-strength up to 7 days, which can be accelerated with suitable changes in the mix design
Much later strength gain between 28 days and 90 days or more
Tuesday, April 11, 2023 FLY ASH IN CONCRETE 13
Superior dimensional stability and resistance to cracking.
After 3 to 6 months of curing, much higher electrical resistivity.
Very high durability to the reinforcement corrosion.
Better cost economy due to lower material cost and highly favorable lifecycle Cost.
Superior environmental friendliness due to ecological disposal of large quantities of fly ash.

Why Fly Ash is Ideal for the Interstate Highway System and Secondary Roads ?
HVFA is more durable than asphaltic concrete and needs almost no maintenance.
The design of a highway pavement is based on flexural strength and HVFA concrete keeps gaining strength with age .
There is no reinforcing steel in pavement concrete and roller compacted concrete. Thus the corrosion of steel is a non issues.
It increases fuel efficiency of transport trucks by 11%, resulting in cost savings and lower exhaust emissions..
HVFA concrete is competitive with asphaltic concrete even onfirst-cost basis

Chemical Interaction of Fly Ash with Concrete-Making Materials
When Portland cement hydrates, calcium hydroxide is formed.
Approximately 20% of the weight of Portland cement is converted to calcium hydroxide
• Does not strengthen concrete.
Calcium hydroxide is soluble in water and may be removed by leaching action.
When fly ash is employed, hydrated lime combines with fly ash to form a stable cementitious compound.
• Helps strengthen concrete.

Fly Ash Availability and PortlandCement Production in India in2002-2010
Fly ash availability:
Estimated availability 2002: 80 to 100 million tonnes
Estimated availability in 2010: 180 to 200 million tonnes
Portland cement production:
Estimated availability in 2002: 80 million tonnes
Estimated availability in 2010: 120 million tonnes

Present Scenario
Indian RMC Manufacturers add 15-18% fly ash to concrete but the common man here still does not comprehend the benefits derived from the usage of fly ash in cement or in concrete.
In the US, the State of Wisconsin has been using a 60% Class F fly ash in concrete mix since 1989.
The Park lane Development in Halifax, Canada is a seven story structure and was built with 55% high-volume fly ash concrete .

Reduction of CO2 Emissions byIncreased use of Fly Ash-
Replacing 15% of cement worldwide by SCM will reduce CO2 emissions by 227 million tonnes.
Replacing 50% of cement worldwide by SCM will reduce CO2 emissions by 750 million tonnes. This is equal to removing 1/4of all automobiles in the world.

Just 1 ton of fly ash use equals-
Conserved Landfill Space
Enough for 455 days of solid waste produced by an average man.
Reduced CO2 Emissions
Equal to two months of emissions from an automobile.
Saved Energy Enough to provide electricity to an average home for 24 days.

Health Attributes
There are traces of heavy metals in the fly ash.
Some debate that the metals are effectively locked into the cement matrix, preventing their release.
By using fly ash in concrete rather than “landfilling” it, the potential for the metals to leach into the environment is reduced.
Concerns have also been raised about the higher incidence of Radium-226 in fly ash

Alternative Resources
Rice husk ash, created by the controlled burning of an agricultural waste product, can be added to mixes to further increase the strength and reduce the permeability of fly ash concrete.

.
Portland Cement is environmentally very unfriendly material.
As good engineers, we must reduce its use in concrete.
Tuesday, April 11, 2023 FLY ASH IN CONCRETE 29
So what is the solution ?
As good engineers, we must use more environmentally friendly Supplementary Cementing Materials in concrete. These materials are :
Fly Ash
Granulated B.F. Slag
Silica Fume
Rice-husk Ash
