THE PROPERTIES OF CEMENT MORTAR WITH NATURAL ZEOLITE AND SILICA FUME ADDITIONS
Journal Title: Structure and Environment - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
This article reports the results of a study evaluating the effect of natural zeolite and silica fume on the properties of cement mortar. The study used binders in which 20% of portland cement was replaced with the pozzolanic admixtures. Both admixtures were studied separately and combined as a 1:1 blend. Reference samples were produced with non-modified cement binders. The tests were conducted for hydration kinetics on cement pastes, consistencies and strength in flexure and compression on mortars. The results indicated that different pozzolans affected the mortar differently. The effect of zeolite and silica fume blend on the properties of mortars is not an averaged effect of those admixtures used individually.
