Abstract

Factor analyses and cluster analyses were the modeling tools used to relate the chemical and physical characteristics of fly ash and cement to the strength, sulfate resistance, and freeze-thaw durability of fly ash-modified concrete. A Type I Portland cement was mixed with base load and upset load condition fly ashes from three different power plants in each of five regions in the United States. Based on the interactions between the reactive constittuents of the cement and fly ash, common factor loadings were identified. Cement loaded onto the early strength factor; fly ash loaded onto the later strength factor. In some subgroups the quantity of mixing liquid loaded separately as representative of the high water/cement ratio, which masked the reactive interactions between the fly ash and cement. In other subgroups the inter-relationships between sulfate resistance and strength with fly ash/cemment fineness, CaO content, and alkali content were represented in the factor analysis as well as in the numerical analysis models.
