Increased Fly Ash Benefit Results

Holding total cementitious content fixed at 600 kg/m³, fly ash was raised from 22% to 33% of the blend—replacing more cement each step. Normally that means weaker concrete. With Trident, every blend gained large amounts of strength.

Fly Ash % = fly ash as a share of total cementitious content (cement + fly ash = 600 kg/m³ in every mix). Trident dosed at 32.4 g/m³ where used. More fly ash normally lowers strength—especially early—because it replaces cement.
