Study of possibilities of activation of power plant fly ash as an active ingredient in concrete

Global concrete production is increasing, which brings some environmental burden. A certain solution is the use of secondary raw materials, which has been a long-standing practice in the construction industry. One of the most widespread secondary raw materials is power fly ash. However, in recent years trends have been directed towards maximizing their utility properties. The aim of this work was to study the possibilities of activation of power plant fly ash as an active admixture in concrete. The thesis is divided into two parts, the theoretical and the practical part. The theoretical part describes in detail the possibilities of power plant fly ash activation for use as an active admixture in concrete. The practical part of the thesis is focused on mechanical activation, where the knowledge of the theoretical part is verified on various fly ash
