Fly ash is an essential supplementary cementitious material (SCM) used in concrete manufacturing to improve overall durability and mitigate alkali-silica reaction (ASR). Currently, fly ash is sourced directly from coal-fired power stations in Queensland. However, as these power stations are planned to close as part of the Toward Zero Emissions strategy, the exploration of alternative sources of fly ash for potential incorporation into Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) concrete is imperative.
