Discussion of Test Results - 4,000 psi Concrete<br />

Mixes P4-7 through P4-12 were designed for a compressive strength of 4,000<br />

psi. At an age of 3 days, 20% fly ash concrete showed the highest strength.<br />

At the 7-day age, concrete with up to 50% cement replacement showed<br />

compressive strength levels comparable to that of the control mix P4-7. Mixes<br />

P4-8 and P4-9 with 20 and 30% replacements showed strengths higher than<br />

the control mixture at the 7-day age.<br />

At the 28-day age, all mixtures showed strengths higher than the design<br />

strength of 4,000 psi. Also, all mixtures containing fly ash showed higher<br />

levels of strength compared to the control mix.<br />

Mix P4-10 with 40% replacement of cement showed the maximum strength.<br />

This trend continued at later ages with P4-11, the 50% replacement of cement<br />

with fly ash, showing the highest strength of 7387 psi at the 91-day age.<br />

Discussion of Test Results: 5,000 psi Concrete<br />

Mixes P4-13 to P4-18 were designed with a 28-day compressive strength of<br />

5,000 psi. At the 3-day age, concrete with 20% cement replacement showed<br />

compressive strength higher than that of the control mix P4-13.<br />

However, concrete with up to 40% cement replacement showed compressive<br />

strength in the acceptable range. At the 7-day age, concrete with up to 40%<br />

cement replacement showed strength comparable to the control mix. At the<br />
