Fly ash effect on mechanical properties of concretes made with high absorbent crushed limeston aggregates

Concrete made with high-absorbent crushed limestone aggregates from Yucatán, México are well known as a low quality concrete. The aim of this investigation is to enhance the mechanical properties of concrete with high absorbent crushed limestone aggregates and fly ash. The measured properties were:...

description Concrete made with high-absorbent crushed limestone aggregates from Yucatán, México are well known as a low quality concrete. The aim of this investigation is to enhance the mechanical properties of concrete with high absorbent crushed limestone aggregates and fly ash. The measured properties were: compressive strength and elastic modulus. The water/cement ratios were 0.5 and 0.7, fly ash was incorporated as partial substitution of cement with 20% and 40% and as a mineral additive in 10% and 20%. Results show that fly ash can be used in this kind of concretes as mineral additive due to compressive strength was similar to those reference samples. Finally, an equation for predicting mechanical properties is reported. El concreto elaborado con agregado calizo triturado de alta absorción de Yucatán, México, es considerado de baja calidad. El objetivo de la investigación es mejorar las propiedades mecánicas del concreto elaborado con este tipo de agregado incorporando ceniza volante (CV). Las propiedades medidas fueron: Resistencia a la compresión (RC) y módulo de elasticidad. Se utilizaron relaciones agua/cemento de 0.5 y 0.7, la CV se incorporó como sustitución parcial del cemento en un 20% y 40%, y como aditivo mineral en un 10% y 20%. Los resultados indican que la CV puede ser utilizada en concretos con ACTAA como agregado inerte fino ya que logra mantener una RC similar a la referencia. Se presentan ecuaciones para la predicción de propiedades mecánicas.
