Overview
SIST EN 14227-4:2013 is a European Standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) that specifies requirements for siliceous and calcareous fly ash used in hydraulically bound mixtures. These mixtures are commonly applied in the construction of roads, airfields, and other trafficked surfaces. Fly ash covered by this standard results from the combustion of pulverised coal or lignite in energy-generating plants, serving as a critical material component in sustainable infrastructure projects.
This standard ensures consistent quality and performance of fly ash when used in civil engineering works, supporting durability, strength, and environmental sustainability in hydraulically bound mixtures.
Key Topics
Types of Fly Ash
- Siliceous fly ash (alumino-silicate) characterized by its pozzolanic properties, consisting mainly of silica, alumina, and iron oxides.
- Calcareous fly ash (sulfo-calcitic) containing calcium oxide and sulfates, which exhibit both hydraulic and pozzolanic activity.
Chemical and Physical Requirements
- Particle size limits: maximum 60% retained on 0.045 mm sieve for siliceous; maximum 30% retained on 0.090 mm sieve for calcareous ash.
- Loss on ignition (LOI) for siliceous fly ash must not exceed 15% by mass.
- Maximum sulfuric anhydride (SO3) content of 4.0% by mass for siliceous fly ash.
- Free calcium oxide and soundness limits to ensure volumetric stability.
- Water content restrictions for dry fly ash set at a maximum of 1% by mass.
Performance Criteria
- Pozzolanic activity (siliceous fly ash) and hydraulic activity (calcareous fly ash) must be declared when required, evaluated through compressive strength testing in standardized mixtures.
Production Control
Manufacturers are required to implement rigorous production control measures including regular testing of particle size, chemical composition, soundness, and activity to ensure conformity with the standard.Marking and Labelling
Delivery documentation must include the standard reference, type of fly ash, origin, and manufacturer, ensuring traceability and compliance.
Applications
The specifications set forth in SIST EN 14227-4:2013 apply primarily to the use of fly ash as a component in hydraulically bound mixtures for infrastructure projects such as:
- Road construction
- Airfields and runways
- Trafficked and load-bearing surfaces
Fly ash’s incorporation in these mixtures improves mechanical properties, reduces the environmental footprint of construction by recycling by-products, and enhances long-term durability through pozzolanic and hydraulic binding reactions. Using fly ash compliant with EN 14227-4 ensures reliable performance in base and sub-base layers exposed to heavy traffic loads and varying climatic conditions.
