The Performance of Cement-Based Self-Leveling Mortars Affected by Mineral Admixtures

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper studies the influences of mineral mixtures on the performance of self-leveling mortar through orthogonal experiments. Morphology by Scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the morphology of mortar. The experiments studied the law of strength as well as the influence by three kinds of additives (fly ash, slag and gypsum). Orthogonal experimental results show that, when the content of Fly ash, gypsum, slag were 5%, 2%, 5%, respectively they work best, and for fluidity results show that the best results were when they take up 7.5%, 2% and 10%, respectively.
