    Strength and of Pond Ash Concrete

    Uploaded by

    Naveed B
    Pond ash, a waste product from coal power plants, can partially replace sand in concrete. A study found that replacing 20% of sand with pond ash increased the 7-day and 28-day compressive strength of M30 concrete. However, further replacing sand reduced strength. Workability also decreased with higher pond ash content but could be restored with superplasticizers. Using pond ash in concrete provides environmental and economic benefits compared to natural sand.

    Introduction
    Concrete is of great importance in construction and
    other building works.
    Need of concrete will further increase to 7.5 billion m³
    by 2050.
    At least three-quarters of the total volume of concrete
    consists of coarse and fine aggregates.
    Natural resources such as river sand are getting
    depleted.

    3
    Contd…..
    The thermal power required for the country is rapidly
    increasing
    Coal fired thermal power plants fulfil about 65% of
    the country’s electricity requirements.
    Thermal power plants burn about 407 million tons of
    coal.
     It produce about 131 million tons of coal ash
    annually.

    4
    Contd…..
    15–20% ash is bottom ash and the balance is fly ash.
    Furnace bottom ash (FBA) have no pozzolonic
    property.
    grain size distribution is like that of sand(CA)
    Can be utilised as a sand substitution material.

    About pond ash
    Pond ash is a waste product from coal based power
    plants.
    Fine particles less than 4.75mm.
    Accumulation of pond ash is a serious environmental
    threat.
    Sand can be replaced by pond ash without
    compromising strength & durability.

    Uses of pond ash
     Provide economical concrete.
     Effective waste management.
     Reduce cost of the construction.
     Find optimum strength of partial replacement of
    concrete.
     Minimize the maximum degradation in environment
    due to pond ash.

    10
    Disadvantages of Pond ash

     Cause severe respiratory problems

    Visual and aesthetic problems in almost all the major


    industrial cities in India
    Degradation in environment

    Depletion of the natural resources

    11
    Methods of disposal of pond ash
    Thermal power plants adopt wet ash disposal method.
    In wet method fly ash & bottom ash are mixed with
    water and transported to ash ponds.
    Storage of ash in large ponds and dykes.
    Other method is dry disposal in landfills.

    3. Flexural strength
    4. Split tensile strength

    Workability of Pond Ash Concrete(PAC)

    The workability PAC reduces with the increase in %


    of fine aggregate replacement.
     Due to specific surface effect and higher water
    absorption capacity of PAC.
     On combined grading & use of
    plasticizer,workability can be restored.
    PAC mixes are better than conventional concrete
    mixes
    Increases cohesiveness and total absence of bleeding.

    Mix proportioning
    No standard method of designing concrete mixes with
    pond ash as fine aggregate.
     Mix design proposed by IS method were first
    employed FOR conventional concrete mixes.
    Natural sand was partially replaced by pond ash to
    obtain the PAC mixes.
    The specimens were cast for M30 grade.

    of pond ash.
    Compressive strength of concrete with pond ash incre
    ases with increased curing.
    Split tensile strength increase upto 20% with addition
    of pond ash sand replacemnt

    Use of pond ash reduces workability, to overcome it
    superplasticizers are used.
