4. Conclusions

From the statistical analysis of the results it is deduced that the cure humidity at 50% is significantly different from the remaining levels. Furthermore, the cure humidity 25%HR leads to greater compressive strength values. Concerning the inert/precursor ratio, in most of the cases, there are significantly differences. Furthermore, the compressive strength values increase, in general, as the ash percentage increases. A detailed analysis for the interaction results, allowed to conclude that, among the significantly interactions, the combinations that leads to greater compressive strength values are 25%&100% and 75%&100%. It should be noted that there are no significantly differences between this two former combinations. This can be also seen in Fig.2.
