The effect of fly ash additive on the resistance of concrete to alkali

When fly ash content is increased to 45%, UPV increases up to 4145 m/s or 1.17% more. The highest UPV of 4151 m/s was recorded in specimens containing 55% of fly ash, and this value is 1.32% higher compared to UPV in control specimens. When fly ash content is increased to 65%, UPV drops down to 4147 m/s.

An optional requirement for Class F fly ash is to limit its alkali content to 1.5% maximum. Class C fly ash, which has usually higher lime (CaO) content than Class F, is considered less effective to prevent ASR unless a higher replacement of cement is used. ASTM C441 is used to evaluate fly ash with a 75% reduction in expansion at 14 days.
