Pozzocrete Fly Ash Pozzocrete 60

Pozzocrete 60 is a high efficiency pozzolanic material, obtained by selection and processing of power station fly ashes resulting from the combustion of pulverised bituminous coal. Pozzocrete 60 is subjected to strict quality control.

Pozzocrete (P40, P60 and P100)a processed quality assured fly ash, investigated for its use as a partial replacement for cement in cement mortar (1:3). The utilization of Pozzocrete (P40, P60 and P100) as cement replacement material in mortar or as additive in cement introduces many benefits from economical, technical and environmental points of view. This paper presents the results of the cement mortar of mix proportion 1:3 in which cement is partially replaced with Pozzocrete (P40, P60 and P100) as 0%, 10%, 30%and 50% by weight of cement. Four set of mixture proportions were made. First were control mix (without Pozzocrete (P40, P60 and P100) with regional fine aggregate (sand)) and the other mixes contained Pozzocrete (P40, P60 and P100) obtained from DIRK India Private Limited, nashik, Maharashtra state. The compressive strength has been obtained with partial replacement of Pozzocrete (P40, P60 and P100) with cement. Test results indicate the decreases in the strength properties of mortar with Pozzocrete (P40, P60 and P100) for strength at 28 days as partial replacement with the cement in the cement mortar 1:3. So it can be used in non-structural elements with the low range compressive strength where strength is not required and low cost temporary structure is prepared.
