Sustainable and Economical Precast and Prestressed Concrete Using Fly Ash as a Cement Replacement
Publication: Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering
Volume 23, Issue 6
Abstract
Precast, prestressed concrete is used to construct a variety of structures. The primary Milwaukee area precast supplier chooses to make its product without using any fly ash. The argument is that using fly ash would reduce the early release strength of the concrete mix. This paper shows research to dispute that claim and then illustrates the monetary and environmental savings that could be achieved if fly ash is used as a cement substitute.
