From about 25% to about 50% but not more than about 200 lbs of the Portland cement of a general purpose concrete mix which contains for each cubic yard of the concrete to be produced in generally homogeneous admixture about 400-750 lbs. portland cement, about 1600-2000 lbs. coarse aggregate of a size of at least about 3/8 inch, and sufficient fine aggregate of a size less than 3/8 inch and up to minor amounts of conventional additives to yield one cubic yard when the admixture is combined with water in an amount equal to about 40-70% by weight of said portland cement, is replaced with a) Class F fly ash having a calcium oxide content up to about 6% and b) cement kiln dust (CKD) in a weight ratio of fly ash to CKD of about 2:3-3:2. Preferably, 30% or more of the Portland cement is replaced.
In a composition for producing general purpose concrete which comprises per cubic yard of the concrete to be produced a generally homogeneous admixture of about 400-750 lbs. portland cement, about 1600-2000 lbs. coarse aggregate of a size of at least about 3/8 inch, and sufficient fine aggregate of a size less than 3/8 inch and up to minor amounts of conventional additives to yield one cubic yard when the admixture is combined with water in an amount equal to about 40-70% by weight of said portland cement, the improvement wherein said portland cement in said admixture is partially replaced with a) Class F fly ash having a calcium oxide content up to about 6% and b) cement kiln dust, said Class F fly ash and cement kiln dust being present in amounts having a weight ratio of about 2:3-3:2 and which When combined equal about 25% up to about 50% by. weight of said portland cement but not more than about 200 lbs. of said Portland cement.
A composition for producing general purpose concrete which comprises per cubic yard of the concrete to be produced a generally homogeneous admixture of about 400-750 lbs. cementitious ingredients, about 1600-2000 lbs coarse aggregate of a size of a at least about 3/8 inch, and sufficient fine aggregate of a size less than 3/8 inch and up to minor amounts of conventional additives to yield one cubic yard when the admixture is combined with water in an amount equal to about 40-70% by weight of said cementitious ingredients, said cementitious ingredients consisting essentially of about 50-75% by weight of portland cement and a combined amount equal to about 25-50% by weight up to a maximum of about 200 lbs of Class F fly ash having a calcium oxide content up to about 6% and cement kiln dust, said fly ash and cement kiln dust having a weight ratio in the range of about 2:3-3:2.
In a method of making general purpose concrete which comprises the step of mixing concrete-making ingredients comprising 400-750 lbs. portland cement, about 1600-2000 lbs. coarse aggregate of a size of at least about 3/8 inch, and sufficient fine aggregate of a size less than 3/8 inch and up to minor amounts of optional conventional additives to yield one cubic yard when the admixture is combined with water equal to about 40-70% by weight of said cement, the improvement of partially replacing said Portland Cement with Class F fly ash having a calcium oxide content up to about 6% and cement kiln dust in a combined amount equal to about 25% to about 50% of said Portland cement, the Class F fly ash and said cement kiln dust being present in a weight ratio of said fly as to said cement kiln dust of about 2:3-3:2.
