I am searching for resources regarding petroleum coke fly ash and bottom ash.&nbsp;&nbsp;Our goal is to prepare a testing program for our client to determine the properties of the ash and their applicability for various construction uses (ie. subgrade stabilization).&nbsp;&nbsp;I am particularly looking for sources that discuss material testing, material properties, and how these propeties effect field performance.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>I would appreciate any information with regards to this topic.<br>&nbsp;Thanks<br>

There are a substantial number of sources on &quot;fly ash&quot;.<br>Firstly, try to check &quot;Fly ash resource info&quot; at<br><A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> at <br>Amer. Coal ash assoc : <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> European Assoc. of by-products : <A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> look at the following papers (sorry, some are old papers):<br><br>&#65279;FLY ASH<br>Indraratna,B. , Nutalaya, P., Koo, K. S., and Kuganenthira, N.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1991&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“Engineering<br>behaviour of a low carbon, pozzolanic fly ash and its potential as a construction fill”. <br>Canadian Geotechnical Journal, Vol. 28, No. 4, August 1991, pp 542-555.<br><br>M.H. MacKay, D.K. Hein and J.J. Emery “Water Content and Drainage Effects on the<br>Behavior of Coal Fly Ash Embankment”, 45th Canadian Geotechnical Conference :<br>Innovation, Conservation and Renovation, October 26-28, 1992, Toronto, Ontario,<br>Canada. <br><br>Kinder DL, Morrison, RE, “An engineering approah for using power plant ash in a<br>structural Fill”, Proceedings 5th International Ash Utilization Symposium, Feb 25-<br>27,1979, Technical&nbsp;&nbsp;Information&nbsp;&nbsp;Centre, US Dept.

Thank you!&nbsp;&nbsp;I will look into these.<br><br>You always have great info to share.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks a lot.<br><br>TAC
