In order to study the application of lime-fly ash loess in permafrost subgrade engineering, uniaxial compressive test, fast direct shearing test and permeability tests were carried out on lime-fly ash loess under different curing ages and freeze-thaw cycles. Uniaxial compressive strength of lime-fly ash loess increases slowly with the curing ages, and can reach 3.5 Mpa after the curing ages of ...

The present investigation, deals with the study of both hydrated Sulfate Resisting Portland Cement (SRPC) and fly ash (fly ash 20%, 30% and 50%) composite with two different waters. Among the three percentages of fly ash addition, 30% addition is found to be optimum. The samples (SRPC and 30% fly ash) were analyzed using the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra. The relationsh...

This study demonstrates the use of Class F fly ash in combination with lime or lime kiln dust in the full depth reclamation (FDR) of asphalt pavements. FDR, in the context of this paper, is a process of pulverizing a predetermined amount of flexible pavement that is structurally deficient, blending it with chemical additives and water, and compacting it in place to construct a new stabilized ba...

Emami Paper Mill Ltd. at Balgopalpur industrial area produces a huge amount of fly ash and waste water to the environment. The application of disposed fly ash and waste water in crop cultivation may reduce the problem to some extent. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of direct land application of fly ash on plant growth and production of rice (Oriza sativa). In the fly ash exp...

This paper presents an experimental study on the nature of permeation properties and pore structure of concrete surface layers containing fly ash. Concretes containing different dosages of fly ash as a replacement for cement (15% and 30% by weight of total cement materials, respectively) were investigated. Concrete without any fly ash added was also employed as the reference specimen. Laborator...

In this study, the mercury adsorption characteristics of HBr-modified fly ash in an entrained-flow reactor were investigated through thermal decomposition methods. The results show that the mercury adsorption performance of the HBr-modified fly ash was enhanced significantly. The mercury species adsorbed by unmodified fly ash were HgCl2, HgS and HgO. The mercury adsorbed by HBr-modified fly ash...

China has one of the largest coal mining industries in the world. Electricity in this country is mostly generated by coal-fired electric power plants. These plants produce huge amounts of ash each year. In 1988, Shanghai city alone produced nearly 1.8 million tons of ash. During the last two decades, a substantial amount of research work conducted by the Shanghai Research Institute of Building ...

Fly ash has been regarded as hazardous because of its high adsorption of toxic organic and/or inorganic pollutants. Fly ash is also known to have broad distributions of different chemical and physical properties, such as size and density. In this study, fly ash emitted from a solid waste incinerator was pre-fractionated into six sub-populations by use of gravitational SPLITT fractionation (GSF)...

Many research studies were carried out for effective utilization of fly ash and pond ash in building industry as it possess suitable pozzolanic properties .They are produced in large quantities during the combustion of coal for energy production and recognized as an environmental pollution. Fly ash and Pond ash utilization in building materials have many advantages like cost effectiveness, envi...

In order to improve the durability of fly ash concrete, a series of experimental studies are carried out, where durability improving admixture is used to reduce drying shrinkage and improve freezing-thawing resistance. The effects of durability improving admixture, air content, water-binder ratio, and fly ash replacement ratio on the performance of fly ash concrete are discussed in this paper. ...
