By the experiments of fly ash mortar,the activating effect of five activators of fly ash(Na2SO4,Ca(OH)2,Na2SiO3,CaSO4,the mixture of Na2SO4 and Ca(OH)2) was compared and the impact of low-calcium fly ash and high-calcium fly ash on the mechanical properties of fly ash mortar was also analyzed.For a high volume fly ash part,in order to improve its early strength,high-calcium fly ash should be chosen and CaSO4 or the mixture of Na2SO4 and Ca(OH)2 should be selected as the activator.
