Increased Fly Ash Benefit Results

Holding total cementitious content fixed at 1,010 lb/yd³, 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 = 1,010 lb/yd³ in every mix). Trident dosed at ~1 oz/yd³ where used. More fly ash normally lowers strength—especially early—because it replaces cement.
