Fineness of fly ash is most closely related to the operating condition of the coal crushers and the grindability of the coal itself. For fly ash use in concrete applications, fineness is defined as the percent by weight of the material retained on the 0.044 mm (No. 325) sieve.

Fineness of Fly Ash. As per ASTM, the fineness of the fly ash is to be checked in both dry and wet sieving. The fineness of fly ash is a measure of percentage retained on 45-micron sieve when a sample is sieved through it. Further fineness is also measured by the LeChatelier method and Blaine Specific Surface method.

In this research, the new test method of 'static viscosity' was adopted and the synergistic effects of microfine cement (MC) fineness, water/solids (w/s) ratio and contents of microfine fly ash (MFA), silica fume (SF) and superplasticiser (SP) on the static viscosity of MCGs were studied comprehensively.

Test results demonstrate that using fly ash as a cement replacement resulted in a reduction in the maximum temperature rise in mortar regardless of the fineness of the fly ash. In this investigation, 15 fly ash replacement caused a reduction in the peak temperature of about 4 to 6°C in the mortar. The setting time of fly ash mixes where 15 and ...

Fly ash A total of thirteen fly ashes differing significantly in their lime content from 1% to 27.5% were used in this study. Of these fly ashes, four were high-lime fly ashes (CaO > 20%), four others were Table 1 Chemical composition of cement.

Fig. 4. Effect of grinding fineness of fly ash on geopolymer strength and density When the specific surface area of fly ash was in the range of 700-1300 cm2/g the compressive strength value of geopolymer was relatively low (between 0.9 and 1.9 MPa). The lowest compressive strength was 0.9 MPa which belonged to 1300 cm 2/g SSA of fly ash.

Following dissatisfaction with the existing calibration factor for standard fly ash used in Australia to AS 1129–1971, "Fly Ash for Use in Concrete," a joint investigation was made by Amatek Limited and Construction Technology Laboratories Inc.

The exposure to sulfate solution adversely affected the compressive strength at all ages of all fly ash concretes irrespective of fly ash contents, fineness types, and NS addition. Fly ash mortars containing finer fly ash exhibited slightly higher drying shrinkages but lower rate of water sorption than the mortars containing coarser fly ash.

This study used high fineness of fly ash as a cement replacement to improve recycled aggregate concrete properties. The mixture proportions of recycled aggregate concretes were first prepared using recycled coarse aggregate, and then river sand was replaced with recycled fine aggregate at 0, 50, and by weight of the fine aggregate (river sand plus recycled fine aggregate).

The fineness of the raw material is increasing from cement to fly ash after being processed. From the Blaine fineness test, the fineness of cement resulting is 4500.27 cm²/g; while the fineness of fly ash as collected is 6477.93 cm²/g. From these results, it can be seen that fly ash is finer than cement.
