Abstract: An influence of a high-voltage electrostatic treatment on pozzolanic activity of fly ash and properties of fly ash-cement pastes is considered. An electro-physically activated fly-ash powder is characterized by a higher hydration and pozzolanic activity. This affects the rheology of cement fly-ash pastes, fly-ash particles playing the role of a plasticizing agent in the system. The higher degree of fly-ash hydration, the higher degree of cement hydration, that provides an increase of ash-cement paste compressive strength. A retrofitting of adhesive contacts on the boundary of cement paste–mineral additive (electro-heterogeneous contacts) will effect the formation of a more homogeneous and dense microstructure of a cement paste and concrete.

Keywords: fly-ash, Portland cement, corona electrostatic treatment, degree of hydration, spherical particles, compressive strength.
