Abstract:In the last half century much research has been conducted to find an acceptable cement substitute; the
most intriguing and interesting of those materials is fly ash. Fly ash consists of almost perfectly spherical
particles that are rich in calcium, silicon, iron and aluminum.
The report outlines preliminary work on several novel particle analysis techniques used to investigate
fly ash. Also included is a series of physical tests used to investigate the strength, performance in alkali silica
reaction, and chloride penetration of fly ash. Although more work is needed to make strong findings, the
particle analysis techniques were able to find differences in these materials when bulk analysis could not.
These findings are critical to better elucidating the difference in performance in these materials.
