• Abstract:
  High volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete mixtures offer many benefits, including reduced cost, reduced energy content, enhanced environmental sustainability, and improved long-term performance. The aim of "Greatly Increased Use of Fly Ash in Hydraulic Cement Concrete (HCC) for Pavement Layers and Transportation Structures," an Exploratory Advanced Research (EAR) Program project, is to identify innovative methods to overcome existing barriers to use, and work towards the increased use of HVFA in pavements and transportation structures. The 24-month project, part of a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) initiative, is being conducted by Purdue University in partnership with Auburn University, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association.
