Incinerator Ash Goes Overboard
Clogging Study of Geotextile with Weathered Mudstone
This paper focuses on the combined use of fly ash and geotextiles as a solution for the typical engineering problem of weathered mudstone slopes encountered in Taiwan. In situ collapsed...
Design of Ash Basin Dike across Cove
Embankments built over soft, unstable foundation materials had required that the materials either be removed or reinforced. With the introduction of geotextiles, it is now economically...
Recent Progress in Coal Ash Utilization and the Effect of Environmental Issues and Regulations
This paper summarizes for civil engineers several publications that help to specify and use coal combustion by-products in construction and other applications in a technically sound, commercially...
Fly Ash Utilized in Concrete?Technology Update
Fly ash is frequently utilized as a pozzolanic substance in Portland cement concrete. Levels of such utilization, a reflection of current practice/technology, seem to have stabilized at...
Guidelines for Design and Construction of Pozzolanic Stabilized Base Course Mixtures
The American Coal Ash Association (ACAA) has developed a manual of recommended practice which contains guidelines for the design and construction of pozzolanic stabilized base course mixtures...
Low Permeability Liners Incorporating Fly Ash
This paper summarizes the results of a research study undertaken at West Virginia University to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing stabilized fly ash as a low permeability liner material....
Subsidence Control by High Volume Grouting
Mine grouting programs generally fall into two general methods: flushing and grout columns. With the flushing method, the entire mine under the area to be protected is filled. Grout columns...
Disposal and Utilization of Electric Utility Wastes
The papers presented in this book summarize the recent developments in coal ash utilization technology, and the current issues and regulations associated with the environmental effects...
Seepage Effects on Sedimentation of Fly Ash Slurry
Fly Ash Fills a Valley
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) recently placed narly 400,000 tons of fly ash in a structural fill along I-279 near Pittsburgh. The fly ash, believed to be the...

Soil Improvement Committee?Admixtures Report
Stabilized Fly Ash for Use as Low-Permeability Barriers
Two class F fly ashes from power stations located in West Virginia were stabilized by adding various percentages (by weight) of either lime or cement. Test specimens were subjected to...
Fly Ash as a Potential Waste Liner
Earthen liners have been widely used to contain toxic and hazardous materials in ponds and landfills. There is close scrutiny over the durability of liners in contact with various wastes...
The Typical Engineering Properties of Fly Ash
Knowledge of key physical and engineering properties of coal fly ash is needed in the planning, design, and construction of both disposal and utilization projects. While considerable data...
Embankment Over Fly Ash Pond at Portsmouth Power Station
The fly ash and bottom ash sediments from the Portsmouth Power Station in Portsmouth, Virginia were being sluiced into a 39 acre diked ash pond near the plant. The plant was about to convert...
Stabilization of FGC Wastes
Presently, flue gas cleaning (FGC) wastes (scrubber sludges and flyash) are produced in large quantities, with future production likely to increase as utilities install additional stack...
