feasible cost; FA is your only realistic option for recycled cementious
material replacement. High fly ash (greater than 40% replacement) is
not common either down here but it does seem to be picking up steam and
is more common in other parts of the world. I have done a little
research on the subject and do not recall any info regarding Em:f'c
differences in HFA vs 100% PC concrete. Doesn't mean there isn't one as
I am pretty much a novice in this area. If you are interested send me
an email and I will forward some of the documents and information I have
complied from the internet and other sources on high fly ash in general
as well as specific to southern CA.

Contractors will want you to get rid of the flyash completely and use
Slag.
The concrete apparently stays too wet for too long using high amounts
fly
ash.
