The concern is if the application of the "greesy pozzolan" would have any adverse effect on the most important property of concrete- compressive strenght. I read that "oily" or "greesy" is a compressive strenght inhibitor. It may aid workability but compressive strenght is of the uttermost importance. Thank you
Thank you very much Omoniyi Moses Tope, Does the greasy nature of ashes affect negatively the compressive strength? Do you have any references for that?
Taghreed Kh Mohammed Ali Alrekabi , i couldn't find the place i saw it. I saw something different now. The greese as you choose to call it has a positive effect on the compressive and flexural strength. Please check thisConference Paper The effect of industrial oil on the properties of fresh and ...
