Evaluation and utilization of Illinois FBC residues for construction materials. Technical progress report, March 1, 1992--May 31, 1992
- Southern Illinois Univ., Carbondale, IL (United States). Dept. of Civil Engineering and Mechanics
The overall objective of this program is to investigate the extent to which fluidized bed combustion (FBC) by-products can be properly utilized as viable construction materials. This investigation focuses primarily on the properties of residues derived from fluidized combustion burning of Illinois high-sulfur coal. The research plan calls for evaluation of physics-chemical and engineering characteristics of the FBC-based cement and non-cement mixes. The results of this study will be used to compare the physical and mechanical properties of the FBC-based mixtures with those of conventional mixes. The suitability of using FBC residues as a filler or binder aggregate for Portland cement-based mixtures and Non-Portland cement mixes in the form of conventional and roller compacted materials will be evaluated. During this reporting period, physics-chemical properties of class F fly ash, supplied by the American Fly Ash Company of Naperville, Illinois, were completed. Work on all major tasks, sulfate durability of FBC cement-based mixtures and Engineering characteristics of roller compacted non-cement FBC mixes (task II), are on-going.
