Results
From the chemical analysis of FA samples it was observed that the total amount of silica, alumina and iron
oxides varied from 7090% in the compositions (table 1).
Glassy phase content of the samples also varied between
75 and 85%. Therefore, four different FA samples were
selected from the lot for carrying out experiment with
total pozzolanic oxide contents of 70%, 80%, 85% and
90%, respectively (table 2). Particle size distribution of
these four samples is shown in figure 1. These were likely
to represent the trend in compositional variation that
would affect the degree of interaction with lime. These
different fly ash samples were mixed with lime in different
ratios: 90 : 10, 80 : 20, 70 : 30 and 60 : 40, respectively.
