    The document discusses using pulverized fuel ash (PFA) as a partial replacement for cement in concrete. It provides specifications for a concrete mix design that uses 30% PFA replacement and is intended to achieve a target compressive strength of 35N/mm2 at 28 days. Calculations are shown to determine the cement and PFA contents, water-to-cement ratio, and aggregate proportions needed to achieve the target strength. The results indicate the mix should use 280 kg/m3 of cement and 120 kg/m3 of PFA, with a water-to-cement+PFA ratio of 0.36.

    Example
    • 35N/mm2 @ 28 days
    • OPC + Pfa ( Pfa = 30%)
    • Slump 10-30mm
    • Maximum aggregate 20mm
    • Minimum cement content 300 kg/m3
    • Aggregate type, uncrushed
    • Aggregate density 2.6
    • Max free-water/cement ratio, 0.60
    • Fine Aggregate 70% passing 600 um
    Solution

    • As calculated as normal DOE, target


    mean strength for 35N/mm2 is found to
    be 47N/mm2.
