The size and concentration of fly ash significantly influence mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of composite. Tensile strength and flexural strength of composite increased with increasing fly ash content up to 15 wt% and 10 wt% respectively (Fig. 12). Afterwards, agglomeration of particles...
The geotechnical properties of the soil such as grain size distribution, consistency limits, free swell potential, compaction, and unconfined compressive strength of the natural soil and that of the soil with varying proportion of wood ash and lime was also examined. The results revealed that the ...
Because of their properties and their influence on soil chemistry the utilization of wood ashes is particularly suited for the fertility management of tropical acid soils and forest soils. This review principally focuses on ash from the wood industry and power plants and considers its physical, ...
