Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the use of waste brick as a partial replacement for cement in the production of cement mortar. Clinker was replaced by waste brick in different proportions (0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) by weight for cement. The physico-chemical properties of cement at anhydrous state and the hydrated state, thus the mechanical strengths (flexural and compressive strengths after 7, 28 and 90 days) for the mortar were studied. The microstructure of the mortar was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the mineralogical composition (mineral phases) of the artificial pozzolan was investigated by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the particle size distributions was obtained from laser granulometry (LG) of cements powders used in this study. The results obtained show that the addition of artificial pozzolan improves the grinding time and setting times of the cement, thus the mechanical characteristics of mortar. A substitution of cement by 10% of waste brick increased mechanical strengths of mortar. The results of the investigation confirmed the potential use of this waste material to produce pozzolanic cement.

Properties of fly ash-modified cement mortar-aggregate interfaces

Journal Article Wong, Y; Lam, L; Poon, C; ... - Cement and Concrete Research

This paper investigates the effect of fly ash on strength and fracture properties of the interfaces between the cement mortar and aggregates. The mortars were prepared at a water-to-binder ratio of 0.2, with fly ash replacements from 15 to 55%. Notched mortar beams were tested to determine the flexural strength, fracture toughness, and fracture energy of the plain cement and fly-ash modified cement mortars. Another set of notched beams with mortar-aggregate interface above the notch was tested to determine the flexural strength, fracture toughness, and fracture energy of the interface. Mortar-aggregate interface cubes were tested to determine the splitting strengthmore »« less

Use of sewage sludge ash (SSA)-cement admixtures in mortars

Journal Article Monzo, J; Paya, J; Borrachero, M; ... - Cement and Concrete Research

The chemical composition of sewage sludge ash (SSA) and their sized fractions are studied; some differences in chemical composition are observed. SEM studies show irregular shape of SSA particles and sized fractions, this shape has a decisive influence on workability of mortars. The effect of replacing 15% of portland cement by SSA and their sized fractions: coarse (SSAC) and medium (SSAM) obtained by sieving on compressive (R{sub c}) and flexural (R{sub f}) strength of mortars was investigated. The study reveals an enhancement of strength when ashes are used, due to probably, pozzolanic properties of SSA.

Comparisons among magnetic and non-magnetic fly ash fractions: Strength development of cement-fly ash mortars

Journal Article Paya, J; Monzo, J; Borrachero, M; ... - Waste Management

Nowadays the continual increase in energy demand produces higher consumption of coal and lignite and, consequently, in a parallel way, fly ash production steps up. Magnetic extractions from aqueous-fly ash suspensions produced magnetic and non-magnetic fly ash fractions. Several fractions were obtained from an original fly ash (T0), from T0 and further grinding, and from a ground fly ash (T60). Magnetic and non-magnetic samples were characterized: chemical composition, granulometric data, specific gravity and specific surface area. Workability studies on mortars containing these fractions were carried out. Generally, non-magnetic fractions yielded mortars with similar or higher flowability than mortars containing themore »« less

Characterization of composite materials based on cement-ceramic powder blended binder

Journal Article Kulovaná, Tereza; Pavlík, Zbyšek - AIP Conference Proceedings

Characterization of newly developed composite mortars with incorporated ceramic powder coming from precise brick cutting as partial Portland cement replacement up to 40 mass% is presented in the paper. Fine ceramic powder belongs to the pozzolanic materials. Utilization of pozzolanic materials is accompanied by lower request on energy needed for Portland clinker production which generally results in lower production costs of blended binder and lower CO{sub 2} emission. In this paper, the ceramic powder is used in cement based mortar composition in amount of 8, 16, 24, 32, and 40 mass% of cement. Chemical composition of ceramic powder is analyzedmore »« less

Superplasticized Portland cement: Production and compressive strength of mortars and concrete

Journal Article Bouzoubaa, N; Zhang, M; Malhotra, V - Cement and Concrete Research

This paper deals with the effect of intergrinding different percentages of a naphthalene-based superplasticizer with Portland cement clinker and gypsum on the fineness of the product, and on the water requirement and the compressive strength of the mortars made with the superplasticized cement. The properties of the fresh and hardened concrete made with the superplasticized cements were also investigated. The results showed that the intergrinding of a given amount of a naphthalene-based superplasticizer with Portland clinker and gypsum reduced the grinding time required for obtaining the same Blaine fineness as that of the control Portland cement without the superplasticizer.
