Executive Summary
The Hindustan Construction Company is a project partner in the Implementation of the CII-CANMET-CIDA HVFAC Project in India.

HCC has taken initiative in the use of HVFAC in full-scale applications and thereby promoting the reduction in use of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) without reducing the quality and durability of the concrete mix produced.
As a result of this activity large-scale OPC demand would be avoided thereby resulting in a reduction of an equivalent quantum of CO2 released to the environment. Avoidance of CO2 emissions qualifies for CDM benefits under the Kyoto Protocol.

As a part of the CDM project activity development process, and as required by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), HCC has prepared this Project Design Document.

Scope of the Project

Concrete of grades M20, M40 and M60 (nominally 20, 40 and 60 MPa) using fly ash with OPC and PPC were investigated in this project. For each grade of concrete made with OPC, four concrete mixtures were made, a control concrete without fly ash, and concrete incorporating 30, 40 and 50% fly ash. For each grade of concrete made with PPC, three concrete mixtures were made, one made with PPC only, one with the cementitious materials incorporating 40% fly ash, and one with the cementitious materials incorporating 50% fly ash. In addition to this, for grade M40, both for concretes made with OPC and PPC, mixtures with the cementitious materials incorporating 55% fly ash were made. For each concrete mixture, the compressive strength at 1, 3, 7, 28, 56 and 91 days, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength and rapid chloride penetrability at 28 and 91 days were determined.

Scope of the Project

This report presents the details of development of high volume fly ash concrete (HVFAC) using , a cement replacement level of 50% and the investigations carried out on mechanical properties and durability characteristics of HVFAC specimens in comparison with a control OPC concrete (OPCC ) of the same grade. The structural behaviour of reinforced HVFAC and OPCC flexural and compression elements is also reported. The investigations have demonstrated the suitability of HVFAC for normal structural applications.
