4. Concrete mixtures with 35% to 55% fly ash to total cementitious<br />

material ratio exhibited excellent resistance to water permeability at 91<br />

day age.<br />

5. <strong>The</strong> resistance to chloride ion permeability increased as the concrete<br />

aged. At the age of one year, all the fly ash mixtures showed very low<br />

chloride ion permeability.<br />

6. Air content had little effect on air, water and chloride ion permeability<br />

of concrete, within the test limits.<br />

High-Volume Fly Ash Concrete - Pilot<br />

Projects<br />

Several pilot projects were completed as part of the research work to<br />

demonstrate and better understand the actual performance of <strong>We</strong> <strong>Energies</strong><br />

coal combustion products. All the pilot projects were very successful, and<br />

have been in service for several years. <strong>The</strong> following are examples of such<br />

projects.<br />

Sussex Corporate Center Pilot<br />

Pavements at the Sussex Corporate Center, village of Sussex, Wisconsin, were<br />

constructed using high-volume fly ash concrete in 1995. Concrete pavements<br />

do not require major maintenance for 30 to 50 years, while asphalt pavements<br />

typically last only 10-15 years, after which they are generally milled and<br />

surfaced or replaced.<br />
