Abstract

Experimental data are presented which suggest that the development of compressive strength of fly ash concretes can be explained by superposition of two independent mechanical pore-filling mechanisms in the cement—fly ash paste. It is also suggested that the traditional water/cement ratio law for ordinary Portland cement concretes can be applied to fly ash concretes, provided that a slight modification is introduced. This will be of assistance in the design of fly ash concrete mixes for compressive strength.
