Author Description

This report presents the results of a project to develop optimum design mixes for durable high strength concrete using large amounts of fly ash to replace the cement. Sub-bituminous Class C fly ash, meeting the requirements of ASTM C-618, produced from the Sundance, Wabamun, and Forestburg coal burning power plants were used. Research work included Phase I, a literature review; Phase II, a detailed experimental program which included testing 70 trial mixes to achieve optimum mix proportions for the final design mixes; and Phase III, an economic analysis. The suitability of such mixes for specific applications was also investigated.
