Electrochemical study on the effect of high volume fly ash on the corrosion of reinforcement in self compacting concrete slab panels

“…Use of pozzolanic materials in concrete provide good protection to the reinforcement from chloride attack due to the pores filling and microstructural refinement internally [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. Hence, the effect of high-volume fly ash is investigated on the maximum load carrying capacity, peak deflection, residual flexural strength, energy absorption capacity, mass loss and compressive strength of M20 grade SCC slab panels exposed to saline environment by partial replacement of cement at different degrees of corrosion using accelerating corrosion technique justifying the suitability of HVFA SCC for structural concrete applications.…”

Corrosion characteristics of rebar in Fly Ash-GGBFS synthesised alkali activated concrete

“…One promising approach is the utilization of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), which not only reduce the consumption of Portland cement (PC) but also offer a means to manage waste materials generated across various industries [23,24,25]. Given the continual increase in the generation of FA and GGBFS, these materials can serve as valuable mineral admixtures to enhance the durability and strength of concrete, leveraging their inherent pozzolanic properties [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. Incorporating Fly ash and Ground granulated blast furnace slag in concrete not only reduces cement usage but also has a significantly lower impact on the environment and energy consumption, resulting in reduced CO2 emissions.…”
