Abstract
Pulverised fuel ash (PFA) applied at an application rate of 8.3% by we ight, incorporated by ploughing to a badly compacted minespoil was sho wn to reduce bulk density significantly over a one year period. A seco nd ameliorative treatment with 4.8% PFA, and a third treatment with pl oughing alone both reduced bulk density after four months, but by twel ve months displayed no statistically significant differences in bulk d ensity compared to an untreated control.
