Transport properties of high volume fly ash roller compacted concrete

This paper describes research on the transport properties of high-volume fly ash roller compacted concrete (RCC). The mixes were developed through incorporating 50-260 kg/m3 cement and high volumes of fly ash ranging from 40% to 85% by mass of the total cementitious material. The concretes were investigated for permeability, absorption, sorption and chloride diffusion. The study showed that RCCs of moderate cement and moderate fly ash contents had lower values of permeability, absorption, sorption and chloride diffusivity. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
