Fly ash

Figure 2. 3. Role of fly ash in concrete + Source: NTPC (2014). 2.3.4. BENEFITS OF USING FLY ASH IN CONCRETE 2.3.4.1. WORKABILITY OF THE CONCRETE Fly ash particles are spherical in shape with high fineness and low carbon content this reduces the quantity of water required for a given slump (Zulu, 2014). This means that a mix with Portland cement would have a higher water content of the same workability compared to the fly ash mix. It is estimated that each 10% of fly ash added to a mix reduces the water content by 3%, this is dependent on the nature of the ash and other parameter of the mix (Thomas, 2007). Its spherical shape helps to reduce the friction between aggregates and between concrete and pump line and thus increases…

material. Concrete is an almost universal material. It can be used in so many ways, and achieve many different looks. It can be used architecturally by being the exterior support of a building, or by being the exterior itself. It can be used interiorly by being incorporated into the floor, walls, ceiling, furniture, etc. Concrete can be colored, textured, and can have aggregate added to it. The possibilities are never ending. The basic recipe of concrete is portland cement, water, and…

Abstract: The study investigated the workability, and compressive strength properties of the concrete produced by replac-ing 5%, 10% and 15% by weight of ordinary Portland cement with Sawdust Ash (SDA). Slump test was carried out on the fresh concrete and compressive strength test on hardened concrete. The concrete cubes were tested at the ages of 3, 7, 14 & 28 days. The results showed that Sawdust Ash is good with use in cement. The slump decreased as the Sawdust Ash content increased…

According to historians this celebration is dated back thousands of years ago to pagan celebrations of spring and fertility. Also including the raucous Roman festivals of Saturnalia and Lupercalia and when Christianity moved in to that area When Christianity arrived in Rome religious leaders decided to merge these popular local traditions into the new faith an easier task than abolishing them altogether. As a result the excess and debauchery of the Mardi Gras season became a prelude to Lent the…

Ten days has passed by since then and Ash-well, he was gradually making progress, learning through his mistakes and mixing in some of the lessons he had learned through meditation into his daily routine. Patience was the key to his improvement because his aura couldn’t properly flow through his body under a lot of stress, he finally realizes that. Rather than forcing his aura, he approached the matter with a cool head, reducing the stress and taking deep breaths whenever he felt frustrated.…

"Also, what’s a Saiyan? A new type of Pokémon?"’ … … … Ash noticed the group’s expression. They were completely taken aback by unexpected turn of events. More so, that he didn’t expect Caulifla to march up straight at him and grab a handful of his jacket collar before pulling him towards her face in a fit of rage. "What the hell are you saying you don’t know who we are, Ash?!" she practically yelled at his face. "Caulifla, calm down!" Cabba rushed over and tried to pry the fuming Saiyan off the…

Determining the affects of natural selection on gall fly (Eurosta) larvae from different predators Ariel O’Neil Biology 1020H Abstract This lab was done with the objective of determining if directional selection causes early larvae death in the gall fly. By first examining the parasitoid wasp and birds predatory actions we can hypothesize and predict the smaller galls will be most likely to survive directional selection. To figure out if this is true or not a large variety of goldenrod galls…

The Fly Vile, repulsive, and yet ultimately benign; this is the life of a fly. In the Poem “The Fly” Karl Shapiro defines the operations of a mundane housefly in exorbitant detail. From searching for a mate to burying maggots in the dermis of a corpse to the fly’s demise, Shapiro holds no stray detail of the fly’s being from the reader. Karl Shapiro utilizes imagery and figurative language to express the underlying beauty and repulsion of an otherwise benign fly. First, Shapiro utilizes…
