The current article presents an experimental study on the use of two types of fly ash ( low lime and high lime) as mineral admixtures in producing self-consolidating concrete (SCC) with the objective of assessing the effects of both types of fly ash on the fresh and hardened properties of SCCs. Within the scope of an experimental programme, SCCs were prepared by keeping the total mass of cementitious materials constant at 500 kg/m(3), in which 30, 40, 50, 60 or 70% of cement, by mass, was replaced by high-lime and low-lime fly ash. The workability-related fresh properties of SCCs were observed through slump flow time and diameter, V-funnel flow time, L-box height ratio, GTM sieve stability test and the rheological parameters ( relative yield stress and relative plastic viscosity). Setting times and temperature rise of SCCs were also determined as part of fresh properties. The hardened properties that were monitored for a year included the compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, drying shrinkage and chloride permeability. It was observed that the geometry and surface characteristics of fly ash affected the workability properties of SCC mixtures. Nonetheless, the compressive strength of SCC mixtures with 30 - 40% low-lime fly ash replacement was slightly greater than the control SCC mixture at the end of the year, as the amount of fly ash replacement increased losses in compressive strength. As a result of this experimental study, it could be concluded that SCCs incorporating a fly ash replacement of 70% could be produced with improved fresh and permeation properties and sufficient compressive strength.

Investigation of ash deposition in a pilot-scale fluidized bed combustor co-firing biomass with lignite Gogebakan, Zuhal; Gogebakan, Yusuf; Selçuk, Nevin; Seliuk, Ekrem (2009-01-01) This study presents the results from investigation of ash deposition characteristics of a high ash and sulfur content lignite co-fired with three types of biomass (olive residue, 49 wt%; hazelnut shell, 42 wt%; and cotton residue, 41 wt%) in 0.3 MWt Middle East Technical University (METU) Atmospheric Bubbling Fluidized Bed Combustion (ABFBC) Test Rig. Deposit samples were collected on all air-cooled probe at a temperature of 500 degrees C. Samples were analyzed by SEM/EDX and XRD methods. The results reveal...
Investigation of fly ash characteristics on zeolite 4A synthesis Akın, Süleyman Şener; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2019) There is lack of information about the relation between the candidate raw material fly ash and end product, Zeolite 4A.This study aims to fill the gap in the literature through controlled ash production experiments, characterization studies and Zeolite 4A synthesis. As a result of studies, the nucleation behaviour of the alkali fusion product obtained from fly ash was demonstrated and the most crystalline Zeolite 4A with cubic morphology were obtained from Seyitömer fly ash with alkali fusion product of Si/...
Implementation of horizontal well CBM/ECBM technology and the assessment of effective CO2 storage capacity in a Scottish coalfield Sınayuç, Çağlar; Imrie, Claire E.; Syed, S. Amer; Korre, Anna; Durucan, Sevket (Elsevier BV, 2011-01-01) In this study the theoretical and effective methane recovery and CO2 storage potential of four coal seams within a well characterised section of a CBM license in Scotland are estimated, considering different horizontal well patterns, the effect of permeability heterogeneity and the composition of the injected fluid. The study concerns the Airth area of the Clackmannan coalfield in the Scottish Midland Valley. The effort on building the static earth model and the history match results of the pre-existing ver...
Evaluation of effect of sulfate on class c fly ash and lime stabilized expansive soil As, Mehme; Çokça, Erdal; Department of Civil Engineering (2019) In this study, effect of sulfate on expansive soil treated with Class C Fly Ash was investigated. Also, lime was used for comparison purposes. The swelling soil was prepared at laboratory environment by mixing kaolinite and bentonite. Class C Fly Ashes obtained from Soma and Sivas-Kangal Thermal Power Plants were used as main additives for stabilization. Na2SO4 and CaSO4.2H2O were used as sulfate sources with different concentrations (3000ppm to 40000ppm). Optimum fly ash content was chosen as 15% and 10% f...
Hybrid fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete with a high-volume coarse fly ash Sahmaran, Mustafa; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (Elsevier BV, 2007-01-01) This paper presents a study on the fresh and mechanical properties of a fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete incorporating high-volume fly ash that does not meet the fineness requirements of ASTM C 618. A polycarboxylic-based superplasticizer was used in combination with a viscosity modifying admixture. In mixtures containing fly ash, 50% of cement by weight was replaced with fly ash. Two different types of steel fibers were used in combination, keeping the total fiber content constant at 60 kg/m(3). S...
