Integrated Utilization of Ultra-Fine Fly Ash-Fluoro Gypsum for Highway Repair Ying-Li Gao1, a , Shi-Qiong Zhou, Jian Yin 1 Civil Architectural Engineering College, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, 410075, China a stauny@163.com Keywords: Ultra-fine Fly Ash; Fluoro gypsum; Highway repair; Integrated utilization Abstract.
For the Ultra-Fine Fly Ash's (UFA's) favorable activation effect, figuration effect and tiny aggregation effect in the process of cement hydration[2], it has been used in highway construction engineering field, producing UFA high-performance highway concrete that has good long-term performance and durability.
However, the lager scope application of UFA is always limited because its hydration is slow and the strength of UFA concrete is lower than that of the reference concrete, especially to the highway repair engineering, so it must be modified.
The concrete mechanical performance tested according to "Testing Methods of Concrete for Highway Engineering" (JTJ053-94).
The concrete durability tested in accordance with "Testing Methods of Concrete for Highway Engineering" (JTJ053-94).

Introduction The in-depth understanding and accurate representation of the stress field around a crack tip is a crucial issue for development of new theories and application to engineering fracture problems.
This is promising as for each crack, only a few seconds are required to conduct the coupled model which is acceptable for engineering problem, especially when the accuracy improved quite well.
