Really, no Flyash? Maybe you can tell me why that is seeing that every professional organization such as ACI, ASCE, FHA, ACPA, all recommend a minimum of 15% flyash and preferably 25%. And before you comment, maybe you should look up ASR (Alkali-Silica Reactivity). And we won't even talk about GGBFS which is also used at up to 40% cement replacement.
No fly ash because this is rvnet. The land of ex-experts who don't know what they're talking about....
I'm in trouble! I've placed probably a half million yards of concrete in bridges, roadways, water tanks and treatment structures and dams, all with fly ash or slag or other pozzolans. C rap. I've been doing it wrong. Can't believe I believed all those specifications and my grad level concrete structures and mix design courses!
