  Study on Electrical Resistivity of Metakaolin Concrete

  By P.M. Kulkarni, V. B. Bhruglastav, S.A. Bhalchandra

  Abstract: The present work studies the electrical resistivity of metakaolin concrete containing metakaolin at water–binder ratios 0.58, 0.55, 0.50 and 0.45. Cement was replaced with 0%–15% MK. The optimum replacement level was found 10%. Testing included measurement of electrical resistivity (ER), compressive strength and flexural strength (DT); rebound hammer; and ultrasonic pulse velocity test. ER increases with MK content, age and reduction in W/b ratio. The interrelation between ER and compressive …

  Performance of High Volume Fly Ash Concrete Using Local Power Plant Fly Ash

  By Amitava Sil, Dilip Kumar Singha Roy

  Abstract: Total production of fly ash in Indian Thermal Power plants is approximately 160 million tons annually. Except some super power plants, the quality of fly ash is said to be inferior in most of the power plants. The suitability of fly ash from local power plants for production of high volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete is not tested so far. The aim of the present investigation is to ascertain whether …
