Abstract. Knowledge of the Portland cement and fly ash mixture hydration mechanisms is of high importance in the practical usage of fly ash in cement mixtures. The quantity of CaO in the fly ash can determine the course of hydration and influence the strength of cement pastes.
In this paper the results of the testing of the influence of fly ash composition on the strength of cement mixtures with special emphasis on the content of CaO in the ash have been presented.
Key Words: Fly Ash, Cement Mixture, Compressive Strength, Fly Ash Content, CaO Content.

UTICAJ HEMIJSKOG SASTAVA LETEĆEG PEPELA NA MEHANIZAM 
HIDRATACIJE SMEŠE PORTLAND CEMENTA I LETEĆEG PEPELA (PC+LP)
Poznavanje mehanizama hidratacije smeše Portland cementa i letećeg pepela je od velikog značaja za praktično korišćenje letećeg pepela u cementnim mešavinama. Količina CaO u letećem pepelu može odrediti tok hidratacije i uticati na čvrstoću cementnih pasti.
U ovom radu su prikazani rezultati ispitivanja uticaja hemijskog sasatava letećeg pepela na čvrstoću cementnih mešavina sa posebnim osvrtom na sadržaj CaO u pepelu.
Ključne reči: Leteći pepeo, cementna smeša, čvrstoća na pritisak, sadržaj letećeg pepela, sadržaj CaO
