Applications of POFA.

Percentage of Replacement of POFA, % Applications Ref.
POFA filler
POFA ash
POFA binder
To upsurge the concrete strength [16,43,53,78,89]
To use as an effective polymer concrete filler [107]
To reduce the total temperature rise [66]
To improve surface resistance and water permeability of concrete [49]
To construct roads, ground in the plantations and mills [12,16,30,82]
To produce unfired green bricks [57,139,144]
In produce foamed concrete [24,25,66,145]
To produce aerated concrete [73,81,139]
To produce lightweight FC for non-structural building material [24,25,33,66]
To construct footbridge and low-cost house [1,14,70]
0% and 20% The 20% POFA in concrete attained in the reduction of DS. [26,90]
0%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, 15% and 17.5% The 12.5% of POFA substituted on OPC displays the enhancement in strength. [8,146]
0%, 10%, 30% and 50% 0% and 70% The 10% of POFA illustrates the greater strength than reference at the age of 3 months. [39,64,143]
0%, 50%, 60% and 70% The strength of concrete encompassing a high POFA content explains the lesser strength. The high content of POFA reduced workability but improved with the use of a super-plasticizer. [57]
0%, 5%, 10% and 15% Workability indicates a significant decrease with the addition of a high volume of POFA. The 15% POFA substitution demonstrates a higher strength similar to normal concrete samples. [30,64,120,126]
0%, 50%, 60% and 70% The abilities of passing and filling are superior to reference. 70% of OPC substitution was recommended to make durable concrete. [51,52,53,61]
0%, 10%, 15% and 20% The increments of the content of POFA contribute to a reduction in initial hardened properties, but the SCC strength comprising POFA was equivalent. [51,64]
0%, 30% and 60% The replacement of POFA, shows weak concrete workability with an acceptable limit.
Higher content of POFA substitution presents a reduction in strength.
[66,67]
10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% The 20% inclusion of POFA into FC exhibits the suitable strength of FC for non-structural concrete applications. [24,25,66]
