at Denver's former Stapleton International Airport. In six years'

time, removals were completed on-schedule and aggregate

sales continue through 2009.

This major project has greatly enhanced the awareness and

knowledge in the re-development and construction community

as to the economic savings and project benefits involved in on-

site recycling to achieve sustainability goals.

So Save Earth, Save Future for Next Generation.

Recycled Concrete

Concrete is everywhere. Homes, schools, hospitals, offices,

roads and footpaths, all make use of concrete. Concrete is an

excellent material to make long-lasting and energy-efficient

buildings. However, even with good design, human needs

change and potential waste will be generated. Changes in

infrastructure planning and needs result in worldwide

generation of construction and demolition waste estimated

900 million tonnes every year.

When structures made of concrete are demolished or

renovated, concrete recycling is an increasingly common

method of utilizing the aggregate.

Concrete was once routinely trucked to landfills for disposal,

but recycling has a number of benefits that have made it a

more attractive option in this age of greater environmental

awareness, more environmental laws and the desire to keep

construction costs down.

Concrete aggregate collected from demolition sites is put

through a crushing machine. Crushing facilities accept only

uncontaminated concrete, which must be free of trash, wood,

paper and other such materials. Metals such as rebar are

accepted, since they can be removed with magnets and other

sorting devices and melted down for recycling elsewhere.

The remaining aggregate chunks are sorted by size. Larger

chunks may go through the crusher again. After crushing has

taken place, other particulates are filtered out through a

variety of methods including hand-picking and water flotation.

There are a variety of benefits of recycled concrete

? Keeping concrete debris out of landfills saves landfill space

? Using recycled material as gravel reduces the need for

gravel mining

? Recycling one ton of cement could save 900 kg of CO .2

? Using recycled concrete as the base material for

roadways reduces the pollution involved in trucking

material

? It is generally accepted that about 20% (or more) of

aggregate content can be replaced by recycled concrete

for construction applications

But, recycled concrete aggregate cannot be used in concrete

for big structures.

The greatest users are the United Kingdom, the Netherlands,

Belgium, Switzerland and Germany. In 2000, an estimated

~5% of aggregate in the US was recycled.

'The World's Largest Recycling Project' was initiated by

Recycled Materials Company, Inc. (RMCI) of Arvada. In 1999

they began recycling 6.5 million tonnes of aggregate material

Holistic Performance for Durability:

? Reduction in heat of hydration and minimization of

thermal cracks

? Absorption of surplus lime released out of OPC to form of

secondary hydrated mineralogy

? Pore refinement and grain refinement due to the secondary

hydrated mineralogy, thus contributing to impermeability

and enrichment of transition zone

? Improved impermeability of the concrete, resulting in

increased resistance against the ingress of moisture and

gases, thus ultimately leading to durability enhancement

Importance of Blended Cement (Fly Ash Based) in Construction

7

The term 'Blended Cement' is defined as a hydraulic binder

composed of Portland cement and one or more inorganic

materials that take part in the hydration reactions. The

concept of 'blending' natural siliceous material in lime mortar

and concrete is age-old and traced to the ancient history.

Romans and Greeks have utilized this concept to construct

monumental structures. They found that finely ground

volcanic ashes, when mixed with lime and water, result in

stable and durable structures.

Why Fly Ash-based Blended Cement?

The use of blended cement is associated with a number of

advantages, which could be as follows:-

? Increased long term strength

? Reduced heat of hydration

? Improved resistance to chemical attack

? Reduced bleeding

? Reduction in shrinkage and creep

? Lower permeability

? Less segregation

? Less difficulties in concrete placement

Overview on Fly Ash:

In India Fly Ash is available in abundance, it is estimated that

nearly 80-90 million tonnes of fly ash is annually produced by

coal-based thermal power stations. Fly Ash is a solid fine-

grained material resulting from the combustion of pulverized

coal in power station. It is a waste product of a power plant

and the ash is collected in mechanical and electrostatic

separators/bag filters. The chemical and physical

compositions of Indian fly ashes vary from plant to plant on

account of the use of coal from different sources, different

process technologies and varying operating conditions in

plants. Although large quantity of fly ash is available today, all

the types of ash are not suitable for use in concrete. The

carbon content, fineness, gradation, lime reactivity etc. are

important properties of fly ash which have considerable

bearing on the properties of concrete, both in its fresh and

hardened states. Fly Ash, which is siliceous or aluminous

material, possesses little or no cementations value but will, in

the presence of moisture, chemically react with calcium

hydroxide at ordinary temperatures to form compounds

possessing cementations property.

Fly ash - based brick and cement are far superior in

engineering properties over their conventional competitors.

The opportunity to abate CO2 is 35 million tonnes in cement

and 45 million tonnes in brick by using fly ash.

Water is an important part for construction mainly for

concreting work. The quality of water desired for making

good concrete is very important as it has a great influence

on strength and setting time as well as durability of concrete.

There is a popular index that water fit for drinking purpose

can be used for concrete. Generally the source of water

should be reliable.

In case of doubtful source that is in coastal areas, marshy

land and where brackish water is available, we should

compare the cube strength at 7 days and 28 days made with

available water and distilled water. This will give an overall

effect of the source water. If strength achieved with available

water is up to 90% of the strength achieved with distilled

water, and no other problem is reported, then the source of

water may be accepted.

But the tests should be conducted at regular intervals.

Two important points to be considered about using water

are as below: -

? pH Value of water should be between 6 and 8. A

value less than 6 means acidic in nature, which may

lead to corrosion of reinforcement

? It should be free from organic material and other

impurities

1. Carbonates and Bicarbonates affect setting time of

cement. Sodium Carbonate causes quick setting.

2. If Bicarbonate is more than 1000 ppm, tests for setting

time and strength should be carried out.

3. Brackish water contains Cl- and SO4-2. Chloride should

not be more than 10000 ppm and Sulphate not more

than 3000 ppm.

4. Turbidity should be limited to 2000 ppm. This is due to

silt and other suspended material which interfere not

only with setting, but also with hardening and bond

characteristics.

5. Algae, if present in water, entrap a large amount of

water, which causes reduction of strength.

Effect of Sea Water

Salinity of sea water is approximately 3.5%. If sea water is

used, the main concern will be corrosion of steel and

reduction in strength. The strength reduction is about 10 – 15

%. In addition, it also accelerates the setting time of cement,

causes efflorescence and persistent dampness. Therefore

use of sea water should be avoided for concrete works.

India is a country of contrasts. If we go through travelogues of middle & modern ages we can see contrasting pictures of opulence and poverty, extravagance and hunger, palaces and huts. Printings of Raj period also showcase this contrasting picture of palatial houses surrounded by thatched roofs.

This picture has not changed much even after almost sixty-five years of independence. Mumbai boasts of Millionaire's villa & Dharavi slum at the same time.

Search for food and shelter is the main concern of arguably forty percent of Indians.

Through this article we discuss an attempt made to provide shelter to the poor families by employing cost effective & eco-friendly technology, which is durable, friendly to the planet and comparatively cheaper.

In this context I have to elaborate the meaning of Cost Effective Eco Friendly Technology. Every Technology has some calculations to form the main structure. Cost effective solutions must take into account local ecosystem and available natural resources and they must not exploit the last level of environment. All solutions must localized, meaning, shelter to be constructed where demand is highest to minimize the operational cost.

In designing an affordable house for everyone, judicious thinking & rethinking is necessary. In the design, following concepts can be adopted.

Concepts of foundation for Cost optimized Technology are as follows -

Stub Arch Linking, Stub Corbel linking & Stub RCC Tie Linking Foundation:

What is an arch foundation?

In an arch foundation, the walls are supported on cement Concrete solid block masonry arches springing from a series of square cement concrete bases.

When to use arch foundation?

a) If condition of the soil is good.

b) Generally for low rise building.

Advantages:

a) Saving materials like cement, course aggregate and sand etc.

b) Labour intensive work.

Disadvantages:

It requires high degree of technical follow up.

Method:

a) Square bases of designed dimensions and positions to be excavated and then 150mm thick plain C.C. (1:8:16) shall be laid.

b) Soil between pockets shall be excavated as per designed profile and 75mm thick plain C.C. (1:8:16) to be laid on the excavated arches.

c) Cement Concrete solid blocks masonry arch and wall shall be constructed as shown in the drawing details.

Concept in Roofing with R.C.C member:

While we are finalising the roofing components, we have to consider the following points -

i) Heavy rainfall area- average rain fall is nearly 1500mm.

ii) During course of a day abnormal temperature fluctuations.

iii) Environmental stage is not inert i.e., Changes in Climate.

iv) Aggregates are not up to the mark when trace of clay & silt is more than 8%.

Considering the above facts (of graded Aggregates), following types of roofing components can be suggested:

a) Solid Slabs.- As per IS: 456-1978/2000.

b) Precast Planks & Joists.

c) Precast doubly curved funicular shell units supported on RCC Ribs.

d) Filler panel slabs as innovated by Laurie Baker.

e) Precast wavy type Planks & Joists as innovated by Sujit Das.

f) Filler panel slabs as modified by Sujit Das.

Ar. Sanjay Mohe, a co-founder of the firm Mindspace Architects is a prominent architect, who has designed various types of projects, like Research Laboratories, Knowledge Park, Campus Design, Factories, Beach Resort, Library, Corporate Offices, Hospice and Residences. He has received various national and international awards such as AR+D Awards in 1999, International Annual Award of Architectural Review, London and J.K. Cement Ltd's

Architect of the Year Award. Ar. Mohe graduated from the JJ School of Architecture in Mumbai securing the Claude Bartley Gold Medal. He started his architectural career in Saudi Arabia and later worked for organisations like Charles Correa Associates and Chandavarkar & Thacker in various positions. He has served as a guest lecturer

and presented seminars at various Universities and Architectural Forums.

His firm, Mindspace has several national and international award winning creations to its credit and most of their projects have been featured in Architecture Journals.

The Visionary Speaks In conversation with Ar. Sanjay Mohe

Q1) Tell us something about your journey as an architect over the years. Please throw some light on the setting up of your firm – Mindspace.

I was born and brought up in Mumbai. Incidentally my journey towards becoming an architect started at a very early phase of my life. As a pliable five years old child, I looked up to my eldest cousin who had returned from the UK after completing his RIBA and was influenced by his personality. I was also inclined to sketching and my folks planted the thought of me becoming an architect like my cousin and that's how the journey began. I graduated from Sir JJ College of Architecture in 1976 and started working with one of my professors from college. An opportunity of working on one of the township projects in Saudi Arabia came my way. Being just out of college, this opportunity to interact with engineers who could explain problems at site, understanding techniques and technology involved in construction proved to be

beneficial. After a stint of three years in Saudi Arabia, I came back to India and worked with Ar Charles Correa for a brief period. Subsequently I joined Chandavarkar and Thacker Associates (CnT) and became one of the directors in 1995 and served in that position until Mindspace was formed in 2004.

Q2) What is your perspective on environmental and social sustainability with regard to buildings? How important are green building practices in your work?

Sustainability needs to not only be our way of life but should also reflect in architecture. It is essential to be sensitive to natural cycles, depleting resources and the elements of nature. The ideal process would be one wherein we work with the forces of nature and develop skills to design spaces that allow the right and required amount of light and breeze in on a daily and seasonal basis. It is not about creating a glass box which would get superheated and then pumping in more energy to cool it,

spaces which are unique in their 'feel' providing its dweller a series of experiences – experiencing elements of nature within a space, experiencing light, breeze, sound, unfolding of layers and volumes. External form of the building is derived to compliment the functions within. We try to create equilibrium between man, his needs, emotions, culture, his aspirations, elements of nature and the technological advancement. Emotions and design are intertwined. The unconscious world of emotion that lives within us is also a source to our design. The built environment should engage the user and have a psychological impact. In an attempt to understand how people will react to their surroundings, the five senses, memory, the impact of colour, and human behaviour play an important role and one must engage the senses in order to evoke an emotive response.

The access to knowledge and information is easy now – probably there is an oversupply of information. Today we see a lot of turned and twisted forms coming up in different parts of the world like in China, Dubai etc. This has a lot of influence on the younger minds where they are getting carried away by the forms and not addressing the soul of the problem. I also think that somehow the younger generation is getting confused about the creative process due to an assortment of software/ computer technology present now. The available technology and new software are to be used as a medium of communication of design and not for designing to help sustain the process of creativity.

Q6) What according to you are the differences between your designing approaches and those of the younger generation?

which is a criminal waste of resources. If we try and develop buildings appropriate and responsive to local climatic zone, use recycled and recyclable materials we will be able to use the available resources efficiently. One has to conceive the idea of going green right from the beginning and through the design development process and not as an add-on feature.

Way back in 1990 when these awards were started in India, J.K. Cement's Architect of the year Award (AYA) was one of the more prestigious awards for architecture community. This has not only created recognition, excitement and enthusiasm but also created awareness amongst the fraternity. Now even though there are many such awards, AYA still holds an esteemed place.

One has to compliment the past and contribute towards the future. Inspiration however comes from the site, the rocks, the geography, the wind movements, sun path, and the neighbouring spaces. The building cannot be designed in isolation but needs to address the micro and macro elements.

Nature is the greatest source of inspiration with its myriad representations serving as a fountain of creativity and stimulation. Effortlessly replicating the elements represented in nature is not an easy task. Structural cantilevers can draw inspiration from the manner in which the branches extend from a tree yet its final representation in a structure would be vastly different.

Climate has always been the primary influencing factor on lifestyle - our culture, behaviour, eating habits, fashion and most importantly architecture. Hence the central idea of our architecture lies in its response to climate, context and integrating nature into the built where 'Experience' takes precedence over 'Form' and 'Soul' and over 'Skin'. Our buildings are not consciously designed to capture attention from the exterior. It is about creating

Q3) You have won many accolades at J.K. Cement's Architect of the Year Award. What are your views on J.K. Cement's contribution towards the architect community?

Q4) You have worked on projects of diverse scale and type ranging from research labs, factories, beach resorts, corporate offices & residences. What inspires your work?

Q5) You have been in the industry for more than 2 decades. What are the fundamental ideas that outline your practice?

Big IdeasWinning EntryArchitectural Concepts in

Today's Construction ScenarioThe relationship between an architect and a civil engineer is that of a policeman and a lawyer. One often contradicts the other, but it is also true that these professionals also play a vital and collective role in creating a sustainable world. With the ever-changing scenario in the world of construction, architectural concepts have now started getting more importance. This drastic change has now taken place because people have realised that along with the strength and durability, aesthetic appeal also matters a lot.

Many ancient rulers and kings have built magnificent buildings that have endured the test of time. This has inspired today's architects and engineers to have a more progressive approach in designing all types of structures. Now we have more awe-inspiring designs which are not only strong and safe but economical too in every manner. Such buildings consume less raw material, so are more eco-friendly. In other words, they are in harmony with the nature.

With the advancement in Concrete technology, architects and engineers have ventured into spaces that are worth risk-taking. Some structures may fail but others revolutionise the unconventional concepts.

Today, building opportunities are more exciting than ever before. These include:

? High strength concrete used in structures

? There is an integration of information technology in buildings during construction, which assist operational life and also rehabilitation after any natural calamity

? Focus is evermore on safety and security, including damage-resistant and resilient materials and design

? Of prime importance is adaptive re-use of structures so as to make the construction work more economical

? Regarding concerns for ecology, emphasis is given to recycled materials and zero-energy building concepts

That is why today the roles of Engineer and Architects have blurred into a combined profile. It is now incumbent on these architect cum engineers and engineer cum architects to keep themselves abreast of the latest advancements in the world of construction so as to apply precise engineering and scientific concepts to suit the needs of consumers.

One of the reasons for integrating architecture into engineering is to provide the building industry with a holistic approach towards consumers in order to give them an eco-friendly aura to live in. People today are aware that getting a place to live in is not everything. They demand amenities that can provide them long-lasting comfort. Creating such holistic works of architecture involves art and beauty, science and engineering, values and beliefs, friendship and team-working. It is one of life's rewarding activities, bringing together a wide range of personalities, skills and expertise. It is an adventure for the client, the architect, engineer and their team.

Rooftop Rain Water Harvesting - Need of the Hour

Know How

Water is one of the five basic elements along with Earth, Air, Atmosphere and Fire, from which creation emanates. In India, the margin between the national resources and the volume of water is diminishing by the year.

As projected, country's population is to reach 1.6 billion by the middle of next century. This rapid growth of population is one of the major factors affecting water reserves. The bulk of the increased food requirement has to be met by production in irrigated lands which in turn, will require more water for irrigation. The increasing size and number of cities is also likely to put pressure on water resources. The climatic changes could also make conditions worse if precipitation amounts decrease in the major food producing regions and evaporation rates increase. Therefore urgent and decisive action must begin.

The rapid depletion of one of our most necessary natural resources, water has compelled us to consider harvesting it in buildings as an option worth considering when planning an improved water supply for a community. Depending upon local environment, water harvesting may provide a supplementary supply, an alternative supply or the only feasible improved supply. This especially is true for rural areas falling within arid and semi-arid zones.

Water Harvesting: Water harvesting is the deliberate collection, concentration and storage of rain water (this is most practical and feasible in Indian conditions), that runs off a natural or manmade catchment surface. The problem of large variation in water availability and growing demand leads to the need for water harvesting. There are four notable ways in which water harvesting can benefit a community.

Firstly, water harvesting assures a more continuous and reliable access to water.

Secondly, a water harvesting system collects and stores water within accessible distance of places it supplies to.

Thirdly, water harvesting provides an alternative source for good quality water seasonally or even all year round. This is relevant for areas where ground water or surface water is contaminated by harmful chemicals or pathogenic bacteria or pesticides and or in areas with saline surface water.

Fourthly, In Urban areas, the rooftop rain water can be conserved and used to replenish ground water.

Rainwater harvesting is resorted to aiming at augmenting water supply, which involves catching and storing the rainwater through appropriate techniques of collection, transportation, filtrations, storage and utilization. Thoughtful planning based on scientific considerations and common sense and related factors are must for techno-economically feasible design of rainwater schemes acceptable to the common man.

Study of rainfall pattern, amount and intensity, nature and type of catchment area (roof, garden, paved areas, storm water drains) topography and physiography of areas are mainly taken into consideration while designing rainwater harvesting system.

There are many ways of harvesting water from rain. The most common are those that can be adopted involving the local people and with maximum value for the resources they demand.

a) Rooftop harvesting

b) Surface run off harvesting

c) Under ground harvesting

Each of these systems has its own characteristics, limitations and advantages. Surface run off harvesting and underground

harvesting are large scale community water supply system and the cost of the construction are quit high due to the considerable quantities of cement and skilled labour required for event modest structures.

Rooftop harvesting system can be economically adopted in public as well as private buildings to augment water supply in urban and rural areas. At the same time, it can be also used to replenish the ground water.

Rooftop catchment tanks are installed to receive run off water from the roof of a house, a shed or a public building via a gutter and a down pipe. The small catchment is preferred for rain water harvesting so as to have a better control in maintaining the cleanliness. The most suitable roofs for the purpose are those covered with iron sheets, tiles and fiberglass sheet. Thatched roofs too have been used but they give a much lower yield and often procedure coloured water.

Rainwater harvesting for artificial recharge to ground water – Modern technologies for obtaining and using water are concerned chiefly with the exploration of rivers and ground water through wells and bore wells. Harnessing ground water is more common indeed, 85 % of the drinking water supplied to rural India owes its origin to ground water.

Simultaneously, technological developments in drilling and pumping methods have paved the way for a massive exploration of ground water mainly for irrigation (85 %) and for industries and domestic purpose (15 %) of the aquifer capacity. This imbalance between rapid depletion of our ground water resources on the one hand and their slow replenishing on the other has resulted in the depletion of the aquifers and the consequent lowering of the water table.

In urban areas, the rooftop rainwater can be conserved and used to replenish ground water. The approach requires connecting the outlet pipe from rooftop to divert the water to either existing wells/ tube well or specially designed wells. The quality of storm water must be taken into consideration, as impure and polluted water if harvested and used for recharge would pose serious health hazard. The urban housing complexes or institutional buildings have large roof areas and can be used to recharge aquifer in urban areas.

Individually owned as well as community controlled rainwater harvesting schemes are required in urban areas. The success of such schemes depends upon people's participation and the acceptance of appropriate, convenient and easy to operate. Motivation and proper training of women and youth would be required in the immediate future to ensure public participation in managing and operating the rain water harvesting scheme.

During concreting work

Mixing concrete

All raw materials, cement, sand, coarse aggregates and water

should be measured as per pre-decided ratio. Ideally, the mixing

should be done in a mechanical mixer. The concrete mixer

should be allowed to rotate for at least 2 minutes. Labourers

have the tendency to add extra water to facilitate easy working,

which should be strictly avoided.

Pouring Concrete

The concrete is then poured into the framework continuously to

the required thickness. Pouring should start from far end so that

labourers don’t walk over the freshly laid concrete. Vibrator is

used to compact the concrete and over vibration should be

avoided as it leads to bleeding of extra slurry. Finishing of

concrete should be done simultaneously to ensure that the top

surface is finished smooth and to attain uniform slab thickness.

After the completion of concreting work.

Curing

Curing is critical for a good quality concrete slab and is

commonly done by flooding the slab with water after dividing the

slab into smaller portions with cement mortar partitions. The

curing of slab should begin the day after the casting and

continue for at least 14 days for adequate concrete strength.

De-shuttering

The side shuttering of the slab can be removed after 48 hours.

The bottom shuttering should not be removed before 14 days.

RCC slabs are constructed to span between supports such

as walls and columns. They are designed to carry the 'dead

load' of their own weight safely and any additional 'live load'

imposed by human activity.

The main advantage of an RCC slab is the easy availability of

basic raw materials required for its construction that are

cement, sand, steel and aggregates. Skilled masons capable

of casting the slab are also available. But the basic quality

control guidelines for a good quality and durable RCC slab

are often ignored in practice.

After completing the planning and preparation for laying a

RCC slab, it becomes essential to carry out some checks,

which can be broadly classified into three categories:-

# Before start of concreting

# During concreting work

# After the completion of concreting work

Before start of concreting

Shuttering

The process of constructing the RCC slab commences with

erecting the centering and shuttering. Wooden shuttering is

usually provided for the purpose although steel shuttering is

recommended to get a smooth under surface. Once the

shuttering has been laid, following checks should be

performed:-

1. Shuttering support props are strong, vertical and erected

on firm ground.

2. Shuttering is cleaned properly and level is checked.

Slight camber at the center is recommended.

3. Shuttering oil has been applied on the top surface of

shuttering plates to ensure that concrete, which has to

be laid, does not stick to the surface of the shuttering

while it is removed.

4. All shuttering joints are sealed with brown paper tape to

prevent leakage of slurry.

5. Proper side supports for slab and beam are provided and

are in perfect vertical condition.

Reinforcement

The reinforcement bars are then laid, as per design, in both

directions and tied properly with binding wire. Bars in

cantilever and chajja portion should be specially checked.

Cover blocks below bottom layer of steel and steel chairs

below top layer should be properly provided.

Self compacting concrete (SCC) is the concrete which flows under its own weight without any segregation and maintaining its homogeneity. It also flows through all shapes and obstructions and needing no vibration for compaction. Thus the main requirements of SCC are flow ability, filling ability, self-compacting without segregation i.e. maintaining homogeneity. These can be achieved by proper mix design.

Various components of SCC are

? Coarse aggregate

? Fine aggregate

? Fines/Dust

? Cement

? Water

? Chemical admixtures (Super-plasticiser)

Advantages of SCC

? No vibrations are required

? Reduces equipment cost as no vibrators are required at site

? Reduces requirement of manpower

? Shortened construction time

? Early strength gain

? Denser reinforcement possible

? More innovative designs, more complex shapes, thinner section etc. are possible

? Easier placing, better surface finish can be done

Mr. Pradeep Kumar Barik CTS - Bhubaneshwar

Self compacting concrete was first developed in Japan around the year 1980. The need for development of such concrete arose from the scarcity of skilled manpower in Japan during this period to overcome the problem of placing and compacting congested civil engineering structures. It has been observed that self compacting concrete not only reduces the requirement of manpower, both skilled and unskilled but also results in more durable concrete.

Self compacting concrete can be considered as the greatest technical advancement and most revolutionary development in concrete technology over the years. It may be counted as the concrete of the future, as it will replace normal concrete because of its many advantages. In India, it was used for the first time in the year 2003 by Gammon India Limited.

Self Compacting Concrete (SCC)

Fly Ash

A particle having spherical shape which resembles the ashes

coming out of volcano is called Fly Ash. The volcano ashes

were long back used for making Hydraulic Cement in a town

of Italy known as Pozzuoli from where the term Pozzolan was

derived. Pozzolan and Fly Ash nowadays are popularly

known and widely used as Pozzolana material.

This Pozzolana is a material that has Siliceous and

Aluminous properties and when mixed with both water and

lime it forms a compound what is cementitious in nature.

Fly Ash is basically a fine powder and because of spherical

shape its properties allows it to blend and flow freely

in mixtures.

Some of the special features of Fly Ash are:

1. Higher Strength: Fly Ash in a continuous process over

time combines with free lime and in result increases

structural strength.

2. Workability: The concrete is easily placed to desired shapes

using very less efforts and reacts better against vibrations to

get compact.

3. Reduced Sulphate Attack: Free lime if combined with Sulfate

can result in expansion which is always destructive. This Fly

Ash ties up the free lime so as to prevent the damage caused.

4. Heat of hydration is reduced: Less heat is generated when

Fly Ash and lime reacts, undergoing a chemical reaction

known as a Pozzolanic reaction resulting to reduced

possibilities of getting cracks in concrete.

There are long listed features and properties which has made

Fly Ash a wealth.
