605.1DESCRIPTION
This specification allows the substitution of fly ash for a portion of Portland cement in concrete.
605.2MATERIALS
Fly ash will conform to Section 753.
605.3CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
A.Limitations: Fly ash will not be permitted when Type III cement is used. B.Storage: Fly ash will be stored at the concrete plant site in clearly marked separate containers. Use of divided bins in the same silo will be permitted if the silo is commercially manufactured with divided bins or if the contractor/concrete supplier has a certification by a registered professional engineer that the divided bins will structurally handle the load associated with the use of the silo. C.Design Mix: Fly ash may be substituted for cement in concrete. The addition or deletion of fly ash from the mix will be at no cost to the Department. If fly ash is used, the minimum amount of cement to be replaced is 15% and the maximum amount is 25% at a 1:1 ratio by weight. Changes in fly ash source or mill plant coal supply will require a new mix design approval. D.Batching: Fly ash may be weighed on a separate scale or on the same scale as the cement. If the cement scale is used, the cement must be weighed first.
605.4METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
No measurement will be made for fly ash.
605.5BASIS OF PAYMENT
