Use of fly ash in concrete in the U.S. is governed largely by ASTM Standard C618. This standard prohibits the use of fly ash with too much residual carbon, which indicates that the coal was not burned thoroughly enough. Residual carbon impedes air entrainment and reduces the concrete's freeze-thaw resistance. Fly ash is classified as …
