PROPERTIES AND STRUCTURE OF OIL SHALE PASTES. II: MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND STRUCTURE

Compressive strength, drying-shrinkage and expansion in water of oil shale ash pastes were studied and compared to the corresponding properties of portland cement paste. X-ray diffraction and some scanning electron microscopy runs were also included in the study. It was concluded that the structure and properties of the ash pastes can be described and explained by the same models which have been suggested for portland cement paste. The only exception was the total porosity of the ash paste which remained unchanged with time. A suitable modification in the structural model of the portland cement paste was suggested to allow for this specific behaviour. For the abstract of part 1 see TRIS 396942. (Author/TRRL)
