penetrometer to test the strength gain versus the time of setting. Additionally, the fly ash–soil mixture has a time of setting that is slightly different from that of fly ash itself. The time of setting of fly ash–soil mixtures directly relates to the compaction delay (Misra 1998; Mackiewicz and Ferguson 2005; Senol et al. 2006).

The results show that with smaller fly ash particles size and higher levels of fly ash replacement, the workability of the mixture was increased with longer setting time. There was an increase in mortar compressive strength with finer fly ash particle size, compared to those with unclassified ones, with the highest strength was found at those ...
Accelerators are used in cementitious materials for augmenting the rate of early age strength and/or abbreviating the time of setting for the fill to pass from plastic to solid state [55, 56].They are widely used to obtain high early strengths in sprayed concrete applications, providing setting start in a short time and eliminating rebound problem [[57], [58], [59]].
The Moroccan cement industry is looking for new processes to effectively minimize the high energy costs associated to cement manufacturing. This work presents the effect of three types of limestone with different chemical compositions and different CaCO3 contents on the physical and mechanical properties of resulting composite cements by the addition of fly ash in the …
However, I've heard that fly ash retards setting, which would be undesirable when using the mix in cool weather. Is it possible to add fly ash without affecting the concrete setting time? Fly ash doesn't chemically retard setting. But many times fly ash is used in concrete as a cement replacement in combination with a water reducer.
Geopolymer is produced from the alkali activation of materials rich in Si and Al such as fly ash. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with high concentration is normally used in geopolymerization. Limited research has been done with low concentration of alkali activator. This study confirms that KOH with low concentration affect the setting time and compressive …
The first experiment tests the strength of cement mixtures with different ratios of cement, sand, lime, fly ash and rice husk after 3 days. The second experiment tests the strength of three cement mixtures over time at 3, 10, and 20 days. ... Effect of time on setting of cement mortar. Time has an important role on the strength developed by ...
The activator type and concentration have a significant influence on the initial and final setting times of alkali activated GGBS/fly ash concretes. Nath and Sarker [4] evaluated the effect of increasing the alkaline activator contents and ratios on the setting time of alkali-activated GGBS/fly ash concretes and mortars. It was found that ...
The coagulation structure Si–OH and Al–OH was formed due to the reaction of Ca(OH) 2 with Si + and Al + in CFBC fly ash. The main hydration products of the CFBC fly ash and coal-fired fly ash are C–S–H and C–A–H gels. ... Effect of fineness and content of fly ash on setting time of Portland cement. Cement, 12 (2003), pp. 4-6. Google ...

The setting time results indicate that when the cement composition consists of only 30 % G oil well cement and a large proportion of fly ash(65 %∼70 %), the setting time is prolonged, especially at low curing temperature (3°C,10°C). On the other hand, with a high proportion of fly ash, the early compressive strength is quite low.
fly ash slightly retards the setting time of concrete. It was also found that the rate of strength development at various ages is related to the w/c ratio and percentages of fly ash in the concrete mix. Moreover, the modulus of elasticity of fly ash concrete also reduced with the increase in fly ash percentage for a given w/c ratio. 2.
Portland cement addition, fly ash content and solution resting time were studied.. The study focused on curing temperature and curing period. • Performance and mechanical properties of GPC were evaluated for all factors.. Portland cement addition up to 15% improves GPC properties except workability.. Solution resting time for 30 min yields higher performance.
The early strength of the geopolymer formed by the incorporation of GGBS in fly ash was improved and the setting time was ... the overall initial and final coagulation times were relatively long in Group A and shorter in Group C. ... all COSGM samples in Table 4 meet the requirements of fluidity and setting time of cement (GB175–2023), and ...
The setting time of MKPC was determined using a Vickers meter, and the initial setting time was taken as the final setting time. The Chinese standards GB/T 1346, "Test Methods for Water Consumption, Setting Time, and Stability of Standard Consistency of Cement," and JC/T 2537–2019, "Magnesium Phosphate Repair Mortar," were consulted for ...
