Fly ash is a man-made volcanic material. The definition of volcanic fly ash is "silicate or aluminosilicate material, which possesses weak or non-self-cementing ability, but in the finely divided state and damp environments at room temperature, it reacts with Ca(OH) 2 to form gel products" (Dunstan, 1989).There are many factors affecting the …

Furthermore. Production costs can be reduced by the partial replacement of cement with fly ash. Generally, the amount of fly ash to be added ranges from 15 to 35 wt% and can even reach 70 wt% for concrete in constructions such as walls, parking lots, and pavements. Yet, it can reach 80 wt% in autoclaved aerated concrete (Dilmore, 2001).
