Original Abstract

The demand for concrete structures grows worldwide, which raises fears about sustainable development of Portland cement production. Its carbon footprint is relatively small compared to alternative building materials, but still it is not negligible. This argument together with lower cost and possibility of utilization of material, which would otherwise be disposed as waste, lead the research towards concrete with higher content of Portland cement replaced with fly ash. The experiment is divided into two parts: the first one determines influence of high volume fly ash replacement of Portland cement on behavior and properties of cement paste and mortar. The second part optimizes composition of concrete mix, in particular the granulometry of the cement-fly ash system in order to achieve maximal possible values of mechanical properties at high dosage of fly ash.
