FLY ASH

FLY ASH CONCRETE :-

COMPARISON BETWEEN FLY ASH BRICKS AND NORMAL CLAY BRICK
-FLY ASH IS A POZZOLAN, A POZZOLAN IS A
SILICEOUS MATERIAL THAT, IN FINELY DEVIDED
NORMAL CLAY BRICK FLY ASH BRICK FORM AND IN THE PRESENCE OF MOISTURE,
CHEMICALLY REACTS WITH THE CALCIUM
HYDROXIDE RELEASED BY THE HYDRATION OF
PORTLAND CEMENT.
-VARYING COLOR AS PER SOIL -UNIFORM PLEASING COLOR LIKE CEMENT - THE HYDRATION REACTIONS ARE SIMILAR TO
THE ONE OCCURING DURING PORTLAND CEMENT.
-UNEVEN SHAPE AS HAND MADE -UNEVEN SHAPE AS HAND MADE - THUS A FLY ASH POZZOLAN BECOMES
DENSER, STRONGER AND MORE DURABLE.
- FLY ASH IMPROVES CONCRETE WORKABILITY
-LIGHTLY BONDED -DENSE COMPOSITION AND LOWERS WATER DEMAND.
- FLY ASH GENERALLY EXHIBIT LESS BLEEDING
AND SEGREGATION.
-PLASTERING REQUIRED -NO PLASTERING REQUIRED - GENERALLY REDUCES THE PERMEABILITY AND
ADSORPTION OF CONCRETE.
-HEAVIER IN WEIGHT -LIGHTER IN WEIGHT
