<p>The present invention relates to concrete, mortar and other hardenable mixtures comprising cement and fly ash for use in construction and other applications, which hardenable mixtures demonstrate significant levels of acid and sulfate resistance while maintaining acceptable compressive strength properties. The acid and sulfate hardenable mixtures of the invention containing fly ash comprise cementitious materials and a fine aggregate. The cementitious materials may comprise fly ash as well as cement. The fine aggregate may comprise fly ash as well as sand. The total amount of fly ash in the hardenable mixture ranges from about 60 % to about 120 % of the total amount of cement, by weight, whether the fly ash is included as a cementitious material, fine aggregate, or an additive, or any combination of the foregoing. In specific examples, mortar containing 50 % fly ash and 50 % cement in cementitious materials demonstrated superior properties of corrosion resistance.</p> |
