Open publisher page 37 citations

Abstract

Strength properties of fly ash mortars were evaluated through laboratory investigations. OPC of 53 grade replaced with class F fly ash with 5 - 25 % in the increments of 5 %. The results shown that at early age at all fly ash replacements the strength decreased with respect to normal mortar. However, after 28 days and above the mortars made with fly ash replacement up to 15% resulted higher strength than normal OPC mortar. Fly ash replacement of 20 and 25% always had lower strength than normal mortar. It was found that 10% fly ash is the optimum content for maximum strength.
