【 摘 要 】
The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of high volume of fly ash from various sources on compressive strength and acid resistance of concrete. Fly ashes from 5 sources were collected and classified by an air classifier into 3 groups of different degree of fineness; low, medium, and high fineness. Portland cement type I was replaced by fly ash at the rate of 50% by weight of cementitious materials (Portland cement type I and fly ash) to cast concrete cylinders of 10 cm in diameter and 20 cm in height. After fly ash concreteswere cured in water for 28 days, they were tested to determine the compressive strength. In addition, the specimens were immersed in 3% of sulfuric acid solution and the weight losses of concretes were measured from 3 to 90 days. It was found that the compressive strengths of fly ash concretes were more than 77% of the control concrete when the high fineness fly ashes were used. Each source of the fly ash had different effect on the compressive strength as well as on the sulfuric acid resistance of concrete. The compressive strength of fly ash concrete was improved with the use of high fineness fly ash; however, the sulfuric acid resistance of the concrete tended to decrease as the fineness of fly ash increased.
