Abstract

Combinations of two types of commercially available Fly Ash (FA) and Portland cement (PC) were tested for compressive strength and permeance to gas flow. The cementitious components were combined in the concrete mixture in proportions PC/FA = 100/0, 75/25, 60/40 and 45/55 for a range of water/cement ratio, and equal workability. Strength and maturity efficiency factors were satisfactory for 75/25 and 60/40 blends. Gas tightness was improved at all levels of Fly Ash substitution.
