ON ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF COAL ASH

THE ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF COAL ASH WERE INVESTIGATED TO SEE IF THE THEORIES OF SOIL MECHANICS COULD BE APPLIED TO SUCH A CASE. TWO ASHES PRODUCED AT DIFFERENT STEAM-POWER STATIONS WERE TESTED. ONE WAS MAINLY COMPOSED OF FLYASH AND CLASSIFIED AS SILT, AND THE OTHER WAS COMPOSED OF CLINKER AND CINDER AND CLASSIFIED AS SAND. DUE TO THEIR ORIGIN, MANY OF THE GRAINS HAD A GLASSY TEXTURE WITH VERY HIGH POROSITY. RESULTS OF THE LABORATORY AND IN-SITU TESTS SHOWED THAT THE ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF THE ASHES CAN BE CALCULATED BY USING SOIL MECHANICS THEORIES.
