ASTM E 2277 Document Information:
Title
Standard Guide for Design and Construction of Coal Ash Structural Fills
ASTM International
Publication Date:
May 10, 2003
Scope:
This guide covers procedures for the design and construction of
engineered structural fills using
coal fly ash, bottom ash, or ponded ash.
The utilization of coal ash under this guide is a component of a
pollution prevention program;
Guide E 1609 describes pollution prevention activities in more detail.
Utilization of coal ash in
this manner conserves land, natural resources, and energy.
This guide applies only to fly ash and bottom ash produced primarily
by the combustion of coal.
The testing, engineering, and construction practices for coal ash
fills are similar to generally
accepted practices for natural soil fills. Coal ash structural fills
should be designed using
generally accepted engineering practices.
Laws and regulations governing the use of coal ash vary by state. The
user of this guide has the
responsibility to determine and comply with applicable requirements.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the
standard. The SI units given in
parentheses are for information only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
requirements prior to use.
