Pennsylvania is planning to construct 10 bridges along Interstate 99 using concrete mixtures containing industrial byproducts such as fly ash, silica fume, ground granulated blast furnace slag and an alkaline earth mineral admixture. And HPC is environmentally efficient; it's recyclable and it incorporates recovered industrial materials which include wastes and byproducts such as fly ash, slag cement, and silica fume. An added benefit of using silica fume or other silica particles is that they react with and eliminate calcium bydroxide crystals, implicated in the deterioration of concrete exposed to seawater. |
