Durability of Concrete Containing Wollastonite and Fly Ash

Abstract:

A series of experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of wollastonite and fly ash combination on the compressive strength, flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, coming off amount, loss percentage of dynamic elastic modulus as well as surface scaling of concrete. The studies show that the effect of mixing wollastonite and fly ash can reach excellent mechanical and durability performance. The effect of mixing wollastonite and fly ash improve the mechanical and durability is better than mixing fly ash alone. The concrete mixes containing wollastonite and fly ash indicated that wollastonite addition 15% was found advantageous in improving concrete quality.
