Abstract
Increasing forest bioenergy utilization is increasing the need to discover more applications for fly ash to avoid dumping charges. Our study concentrates on defining the work phases of reconstruction work and estimation of construction costs for a method using biomass based fly ash. Cost calculations were carried out for two mixed structures of fly ash and aggregate, two uniform structures of fly ash, and a conventional aggregate structure, where construction material volumes were calculated per kilometre for each structure. Our study defined suitable machines and their productivity per hour for different work phases. Cost calculation equations were formed for the used machines and the transportation of construction materials. Our study showed that building a 250 mm thick uniform layer of fly ash was the best alternative for minimizing construction costs. However, building a 500 mm thick uniform layer of fly ash was the best alternative for minimizing dumping charges.
