The weight of fly ash per cubic foot is based on the specific gravity of the particular fly ash multiplied by the weight of water (62.4 lbs.) per cubic foot.

Most fly ash has a specific gravity between 2.15 and 2.30, depending on the source.

To calculate the weight per cubic foot of fly ash with a specific gravity of 2.3, the formula is as follows:

2.3 X 62.4 = 143.52 lbs per cubic foot

It varies based on the density of the mix, but should be around 145 lbs per cubic foot. 27cu ft/cu yd -> 27 x 145 = 3915 pounds per cubic yard

If the fly ash has not been compacted, the mass will be between 900 and 1500 pounds. If it has been compacted then the mass per cubic yard will increase to between 1900 and 2500 pounds.

What do you add to fly ash to make cement?

Fly ash is an ingredient in cement manufacturing. The main components of cement are limestone, clay, sand, and fly ash. The cement folks are interested in the silica and alumina in the fly ash, so depending upon the amount of those in the fly ash allows them to decrease the amount of clay and sand which is where they get those constituents if they don't use fly ash. The advantage is to decrease the volume of clay and sand that have to be mined, realizing a cost savings as well as saving the clay and sand for future generations.
