Abstract
This study investigated the effect of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) with pozzolanic nature fly-ash (FA), silica fume (SF), and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) on the properties of cement mortar with pyrogenic silica addition. First, standard reference (SR) samples were prepared using CEM I 42.5 R-type cement. Pyrogenic silica was added to cement (0.5% by weight) to prepare another group of reference (PR) mortar samples. Cement in PR mortars was replaced with FA, SF, and GGBFS up to 10, 20, and 30%. The mortar samples were placed in 40x40x160 mm metal molds using a vibrating table. The following day the samples were removed from the molds and water cured for 7, 28, and 90 days. The results showed that increases in curing times helped improve the mechanical properties of the mortars. Moreover, the physical properties of PR mortars were affected more positively than the SR mortars. SF-substituted mortars had highest compressive strength, followed by GGBFS- and FA- substituted mortars. In conclusion, pyrogenic silica contributed to some extent to early strength, followed by a decrease.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Construction is aimed at professionals, constructors, academics, researchers, companies, architects, engineers, and anyone who wishes to expand and update their knowledge about construction. We therefore invite all researchers, academics, and professionals to send their contributions for assessment and possible publication in this journal. The publications are free of publication charges.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the Journal of Construction are:
1. To disseminate new knowledge in all areas related to construction (Building, Civil Works, Materials, Business, Education, etc.).
2. To provide professionals in the area with material for discussion to refresh and update their knowledge.
3. To disseminate new applied technologies in construction nationally and internationally.
4. To provide national and foreign academics with an internationally endorsed medium in which to share their knowledge and debate the topics raised.
