Development and Property of a granulated material using fly ash as a main raw material

Abstract

Methods for manufacturing granulated materials using conventional fly ash as main raw material adopt technologies like granulations, solidifications, high-temperature curing and pulverization. Theses methods are perplexed and need long time manufacturing processes and high manufacturing cost. In this context, the authors have developed a technology which uses fly ash with small amount of water and cement. They are mixed and granulated within a short period of time. In this paper, the authors did various physical/mechanical tests to compare granulated materials prepared from fly ash with foundation soil such as sandy soil or gravel rich soil.
