The Influence of High Temperatures and Time on the Material and Mechanical Properties of Cement Binder with Fly Ash

摘要

The paper deals with the use of fly ash in cement and concrete. Fly ash, primarily waste material, can be used as a binder because of pozzolanic properties. This fact positively influences the economic and ecological part of the construction. At present, also in the context of higher fire protection requirements fly ash, it is mentioned as a possible material for the protection of structures from fire. The article presents and discusses the results of destructive tests of tensile strength and compressive strength and non-destructive verification of dynamic modulus of elasticity of cement pastes with fly ash after high temperature load. The test samples were almost six years old.
