Engineering properties of petroleum coke ash
Engineering properties of petroleum coke ash
(OP)
I am searching for resources regarding petroleum coke fly ash and bottom ash. Our goal is to prepare a testing program for our client to determine the properties of the ash and their applicability for various construction uses (ie. subgrade stabilization). I am particularly looking for sources that discuss material testing, material properties, and how these propeties effect field performance.
I would appreciate any information with regards to this topic.
Thanks

RE: Engineering properties of petroleum coke ash
Firstly, try to check "Fly ash resource info" at
http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Launchpad/2095/flyash.html
Also at
Amer. Coal ash assoc : http://www.acaa.org
or European Assoc. of by-products : http://www.ecoba.com
Also.. look at the following papers (sorry, some are old papers):
FLY ASH
Indraratna,B. , Nutalaya, P., Koo, K. S., and Kuganenthira, N. 1991 “Engineering
behaviour of a low carbon, pozzolanic fly ash and its potential as a construction fill”.
Canadian Geotechnical Journal, Vol. 28, No. 4, August 1991, pp 542-555.

Behavior of Coal Fly Ash Embankment”, 45th Canadian Geotechnical Conference :

Canada.

Finally... look at ASCE
http://www.asce.org/cedbsrch.html
use "fly ash" as KEYWORD and then "SEARCH"
Hope that this helps
