The compactibility of lean concrete is improved : the maximum level of compaction (Modified Proctor test) is achieved at about 5 % fly ash addition, whereas it is equal at 0 % and 10 % addition . The CBR-indexes of the mixes are similar at Proctor maximum, but the higher the fly ash content, the more sensitive the index is to an increase in ...

By placing 4-bag concrete on exterior faces and lean mass concrete (2 1/2-bag mix) in the interior, it is possible to achieve both durablity and economy in gravity dam construction. Lean mass concrete is important in minimizing volume-change cracking; the enusing economy is an additional feature.
