• Abstract:
  With the support of the Iowa Fly Ash Affiliates, research on reclaimed fly ash for use as a
  
  construction material has been ongoing since 1991. The material exhibits engineering
  
  properties similar to those of soft limestone or sandstone and a lightweight aggregate. It is
  
  unique in that it is rich in calcium, silica, and aluminum and exhibits pozzolanic properties
  
  (i.e. gains strength over time) when used untreated or when a calcium activator is added.
  
  Reclaimed Class C fly ashes have been successfully used as a base material on a variety of
  
  construction projects in southern and western Iowa. A pavement design guide has been
  
  developed with the support of the Iowa Fly Ash Affiliates.
