Abstract:The addition of fly ash from thermal power plants (TPP) and chemical additives, such as polycondensation products of acetone and formaldehyde, is an effective and economical method for increasing the strength and durability of building materials, in particular concrete. Fly ash added to the concrete and mortars at 10%–15% does not reduce their technical properties, while polycondensation products of acetone and formaldehyde plasticize and accelerate the hardening process of concrete. The study aims to substant… Show more
“…Earlier, it was because mainly acidic fly ash was used as a hydraulic admixture in heavy concrete [4]. However, work in recent years has shown that basic fly ash can also be used in concrete mixtures [5]. Because the transferred fly ash samples belong to basic fly ash, it is necessary to determine their participation in the Portland cement curing process [16].…”
This thesis investigates the use of fly ash obtained from various thermal power plants in China to produce heavy concrete, especially in road and airfield construction. It includes a comprehensive analysis of fly ash samples' chemical and physical properties, their radionuclide content, and their interaction with other materials in the concrete mixture. The study examines how fly ash affects concrete properties such as compatibility, density, frost, and water resistance. Various tests and analyses are presented, including micrographs of fly ash samples, their chemical composition, and physical and mechanical properties. The study also investigated the reaction mechanism of fly ash in hardened concrete and its role in improving the strength and durability of concrete. The conclusions emphasize the beneficial role of fly ash in concrete mixtures, especially in enhancing stability and corrosion resistance.Purpose. This study aims to analyze the effect of fly ash on various properties of concrete, such as ease, strength, and durability. It seeks to understand the chemical and physical interactions of fly ash in concrete mixtures, emphasizing improving the overall performance and sustainability of concrete by incorporating fly ash.
Methodology. The study utilized modern theoretical, experimental, and physic-chemical research methods (electron microscopy). Experimental studies were conducted under laboratory conditions and on natural objects using modern measuring equipment.Results. The following two results were obtained in this study through theoretical analysis and experimental studies: 1. Incorporation of fly ash into concrete mixtures significantly improves the performance of the concrete, with the main findings including enhanced strength and durability, improved workability, and better resistance to environmental factors such as frost and water; and 2. Fly ash positively affects the physical and mechanical properties of the concrete, making it a functional additive in the production of heavy-duty concrete.Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of this study can be summarized as follows: 1. It is the first comprehensive study of the use of fly ash from several thermal power plants in China to produce heavy-duty concrete. 2. It further deepens the understanding of the chemical and physical properties of fly ash and its effect Theory and practice of design. Issue 31. 2024 [62]
