Wood biomass fly ash in the cement composites

The growing trend of using biomass as a renewable energy source results also in a growth of the produced wood biomass ash (WBA), including fly wood biomass ash (WBA-F) and bottom wood biomass ash (WBA-B), as the waste in the energy production. Due to increase of WBA´ amounts, it is necessary to establish its sustainable management. The construction sector is one of the possible options for its sustainable management. This research focuses on the fly WBAs application as a new supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in the cement composites. From the literature review, empirical experimental approaches of WBA-Fs in cement composites were mainly used, focusing on macroscopic performance. Even with satisfactory results, these approaches provide fragmented understanding of new potential materials in the construction industry without clear conclusions and recommendations for the practice. The main goal of this research is to perform a thorough testing of different types of WBA-Fs with assessing of their applicability in the cement composites.
