The absorption of water is illustrated in Fig. 13. The values obtained for water absorption serve as important indicators of the porosity of the concrete and its potential durability [8], [9], [14]. In this instance, the control mix (CT) exhibited a water absorption of 1.73% at 28 days, which decreased to 1.43% by 91 days.

The compressive strength, unit volume weight, water absorption and thermal conductivity of the fly ash–sand–lime bricks obtained under optimum test conditions are 10.25 MPa, 1.14 g/cm3, 40.5% ...
Water absorption. Fly ash bricks tend to have a higher water absorption rate compared to red bricks. The porous nature of fly ash bricks, coupled with the presence of fine particles, can result in increased water absorption. This higher water absorption rate makes fly ash bricks more susceptible to moisture-related issues such as efflorescence ...
The addition of fly ash has shown enhancement in resisting water penetration through concrete. The water penetration depth was reduced by around 10–48% with the addition of different percentages of fly ash, for effective w/c between 0.33 and 0.54. However, for low-strength concrete, the traditional method has shown complete …
Water absorption (wa) of the hardened concrete is one of its basic qualitative features, which is taken into account already at the stage of designing the composition of the concrete mix [].As reported in [] minimizing wa of concrete is important in order to reduce the ingress of chloride containing or sulfate-containing water into …

Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is an eco-friendly material that is increasingly being used in new constructions. Nowadays, the application of RAC is mainly limited by lower mechanical properties and durability performance. This paper outlines the mechanical properties (i.e., compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural …
Water absorption of rice husk ash and fly ash geopolymer hollow blocks. Fig. 10 shows the water absorption test results of rice husk ash and fly ash geopolymer hollow blocks at 7 and 28 days.

Coal fly ash is a byproduct of coal combustion, consisting of fine particles that are expelled from coal-fired boilers with flue gas. In China, the huge productivity of coal-fired power plants results in a massive annual output of 500 million tons of fly ash, which contains valuable elements and components together with various heavy metals (Bhatt et al., 2019).
