Abstract:

Previous Iowa DOT sponsored research has shown that some Class

C fly ashes are cementitious (because calcium is combined as calcium

aluminates) while other Class C ashes containing similar amounts of

elemental calcium are not (1). Fly ashes from modern power plants in

Iowa contain significant amounts of calcium in their glassy phases,

regardless of their cementitious properties. The present research

was based on these findings and on the hyphothesis that: attack of

the amorphous phase of high calcium fly ash could be initiated with

trace additives, thus making calcium available for formation of

useful calcium-silicate cements.
