Influence of fly ash fineness on strength, drying shrinkage and sulfate resistance of blended cement mortar
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of fineness of fly ash on water demand and some of the properties of hardened mortar are examined and it is suggested that the fine fly ash is more reactive and its use resulted in a denser cement matrix and better mechanical properties of mortar.
