STUDY ON THE DESIGN OF STRUCTURES WITH "HIGH-STRENGTH ARTIFICIAL LIGHTWEIGHT AGGREGATE" : (Part 1) Outline of study and Trial Design of Power Station

Abstract

With the recent increase in the number of new established coal thermal power stations, the amount of Fly Ash as their industrial waste is also expected to be increasing. On the other hand, one of the problems in today's aggregates market is the depletion of aggregates of high quality. Accordingly "High-Strength Artificial Lightweight Aggregate" made of fly ash as main raw material which is equal to natural aggregates in strength was now developed and its application for high-strength concrete structures is expected. The aim of this study is to estimate the construction cost-performance in preparation for the application of this aggregate. In this report (Part. 1) mainly the outline of the research and the study on the result of the trial design in power stations will be presented.
