Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, the effectiveness of porous ceramic waste coarse aggregate as an alkali supply agent to accelerate pozzolanic reactivity of fly ash was investigated based on the fact that porous ceramic waste coarse aggregate can be used as an internal curing agent. Some results showed that alkali supply through the porous ceramic waste coarse aggregate accelerates pozzolanic reaction of fly ash, however the compressive strength of concrete containing fly ash could not be improved by alkali supply. It can be said that acceleration of pozzolanic reaction of fly ash by alkali supplied from porous ceramic waste coarse aggregate can be confirmed to a limited extent.
