Mechanical Properties of Class C High Volume Fly Ash Concrete with Lime Water as Mixing Water

Abstract:

This paper reports an investigation on mechanical properties of high volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete produced using different types of mixing water i.e. tap water and saturated lime water. The mechanical properties of ordinary Portland cement concrete are also investigated as control tests. The concrete were tested for their compressive strength, flexural strength and splitting tensile strength at the curing ages of 56 days. The results showed that strength development of high volume fly ash concrete up to 56 days is lower than ordinary portal cement. In addition, the flexural strength and splitting strength of concrete are lower than ordinary Portland cement. Moreover, the use of saturated lime water as mixing water reduces the mechanical properties of class C high volume fly ash concrete.
