  1 DCL Test Results
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: June 9, 2008
Presenter(s): EcoSmart Foundation
    This document is a summarization of the tests carried out by Dubai Central Laboratories as part of the UAE Test Series. The tests outline some of the fresh and hardened properties of fly ash concretes looking specifically at stregnth and durbality characteristics. All samples were considered good quality concrete as judged by durability c...[more]

  2 Durability Evaluation of Concrete Mixes with High Volume Fly Ash (HVFA)
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: June 9, 2008
Author(s): Eric Ouellet, Bruno Pelletier, SIMCO Technologies Inc
    This report evaluates the ionic transport properties of various high volume fly ash (HVFA) concretes. Different numerical simulations were performed on the findings to predict the time to corrosion initiation of rebar for each concrete mix under different exposures. Tests showed that under Arabian Gulf conditions the onset of corrosion occurs...[more]

  3 Low Heat and Eco-Friendly Fly Ash Concretes
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: June 9, 2008
Author(s): David Cooney, Unibeton
    This report tested a number of fresh and hardened properties of fly ash concretes including: bleeding, compressive strength, finishability, heat of hydration, penetration of chloride ions, plastic properties, pumpability, setting time, shrinkage, slump and slump retention, stripping strength, and water reduction. Results demonstrate that fly ash...[more]

  4 Properties of Fly Ash Concrete Mixtures Made with Materials from the United Arab Emirates
    Document Type: Technical Report
    Publication Date: June 9, 2008
Author(s): Alain Bilodeau, Nabil Bouzoubaa, R. Chevrier, Pierre-Claver Nkinamubanzi, CANMET Energy Technology Centre, Natural Resources Canada
    A total of four concrete mixtures were made. These included one control concrete without fly ash, and three mixtures incorporating different percentages of fly ash. In addition to the standard compressive strength determination under normal moist-curing conditions, the effect of curing and ambient temperature on the strength and some durability c...[more]
