In another study by Naik et al. (1992), researchers found that abrasion resistance of Class C fly ash (using 15%–70% fly ash and a w/c of 0.31–0.37) depended on the percentage of fly ash used. For 30% or less, abrasion resistance was comparable to that of the control mix; for 40% or more fly ash, abrasion resistance was lower.
