<p>Coal based thermal power plant has created over 50,000 acres of ash ponds in India, with approximately 2500 acres of additional ponds created for a 500-MW power plant and is filled with ash up to 10 m in height within a period of 5 years. Presently, 160 ...

<p>This research was set with the objective of investigating the possibility of constructing Roller Compacted-Concrete Dam, RCCD, using local material to reduce its cost. Trial laboratory concrete mixtures were conducted to define RCCD proportions in stage-I. ...

<p>Fly ash is a major by-product of thermal power plants that adversely affects land, water, and air. Its gainful utilization in many areas is being continuously explored. Use of fly ash in opencast coal mine haul road construction is one such option. This ...

<p>Slope erosion control with the use of fly-ash and sewage sludge. The paper presents alternative methods of the earth slopes reinforcement. The techniques proposed utilise recycled materials such as fly-ash and sewage sludge. It is described how implementation ...

<p>Shikoku Electric Power Co., Inc. which is one of the famous Japanese electric power companies has developed the technology to manufacture the highly functional fly ash (HFA) which is a brand name &ldquo;Finash&rdquo; produced by sorting and classifying ...

<p>The development of the roller-compacted concrete (RCC) technology in the 1980s is considered by many as a significant breakthrough in the construction industry. RCC is now commonly used all around the world for the construction of dams and pavements, and ...

<p>One of the most pressing needs for research in the geotechnical area is on the issue of the use of marginal soils (e.g. silts, soft rock, etc.) for fills and as backfill material for walls and bridge abutments. The lack of availability of higher quality ...
