סעליאַלער לייטווייט באַטאָנען – ווירקונג פון פלי אַש ווי אַ פיללער און פאָומינג אַגענט

די סעליאַלער לייטווייט באַטאָנען (CLC) has been a widely used material for site reconstruction & low-rise structures. אין CLC, the air bubbles embedded in the concrete make it lighter & stronger than conventional dense concrete. דערפאר, it is a cost effective material and also provides thermal insulation for the building. אין דערצו צו דעם, the cellular concrete has the property of good water resistance & is termite proof.

In order to improve the workability, קאָנסיסטענסי & cohesiveness of the CLC mix, different types of fillers & foaming agents have been tried. Among the many materials that are used, fly ash is found to be particularly useful because of its fine granularity. This enables the uniform embedding of the air bubbles & gives the resulting cellular concrete good strength.

אָבער, the proportion of the coarse granularity in the cellular concrete affects its properties. When there is a large proportion of coarse granularity, the pore structure tends to become non-uniform & consequently the concrete becomes weak. אויף די אנדערע האַנט, with a high proportion of fine granularity, the pore structure is more uniform & the resulting cellular concrete has a good strength.

אין דעם לערנען, the effect of various filler contents on the properties like density, flow behavior, porosity and compressive strength of cellular concrete has been studied by using constant water to binder ratio of 0.5 and unit weight of 800 קג/מ3. Different mixes were prepared replacing cement with fly ash in proportions of 0, 10, 20 און 30 percent by weight of the binder. The compressive strengths of the samples were tested at curing ages of 3, 14, 28 און 60 טעג.
