Abstract

Integrating class-C and class-F fly ash (FA) as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in concrete offers a promising pathway for sustainable construction practices. This study explores the pivotal role of FA in reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and improving concrete’s durability and mechanical properties through a comprehensive life cycle analysis (LCA). By blending FA with cement, significant reductions in CO2 emissions are achieved, alongside enhancements in the workability, compressive strength, and permeability resistance of the concrete matrix. This research elucidates the pozzolanic reaction between FA and calcium hydroxide (CH) during cement hydration, highlighting its contribution to concrete strength and durability. Through a range of comprehensive analysis techniques, including mechanical testing and environmental impact assessment, this study demonstrates the substantial benefits of prioritizing the utilization of class-C and class-F FA in sustainable construction. The findings underscore the industry’s commitment to environmentally conscious practices, promoting structural integrity and reducing ecological impacts. Overall, this research emphasizes class-C and class-F FA as critical components in achieving sustainable construction goals and advancing towards a more environmentally responsible built environment.
