Suitability of Fly ash in Raising the Embankments
The production of fly ash in India has increased tremendously due to coal-based thermal power plants. The fraction of fly ash re-used for any engineering purposes is merely 0.4–0.5. Hence, the storage and disposal of fly ash is a serious concern. The reserves for fly ash storage were built with specific capacity and needs further expansion for storage. Distinct techniques are available for construction of raising namely inward, outward and central raisings. Although being the most familiar and preferred, the inward raising, being resting on the hardened pond ash and subjected to fresh pond-ash filling, has pertinent stability and seepage concerns. The present study aims at determining safety of existing ash dyke by assessing geometric parameters of dyke, properties of ash and material used for further upraising of dyke. Using computer modelling and simulations, the factor of safety and critical slip surface of the ash dyke at various stages of construction are determined and analysed.
