Performance and life cycle assessment of high volume fly ash concrete
The present study discusses the performance of high volume fly ash concrete HVFAC mixes containing slag sand which is a solid waste obtained from basic oxygen steel making industry The design of such mixes was optimized to attain sufficient strength for structural purposes and then cement and natural sand in them were replaced with fly ash
Mechanical and fracture properties of fly ash based geopolymer concrete
The development of fly ash based geopolymer concrete FGPC was considered an effective and sustainable solution However FGPC is much more brittle than ordinary concrete which needs to be solved urgently Thus the effects of three different fiber types namely basalt fiber BF polyethylene polypropylene fiber PF and steel fiber SF
