Porosity Evaluation of Alternative Materials Based on Portland Cement

Article Preview

Abstract:

High energy requirements and the resulting economic demands due to the production of Portland cement leads to tendency to replace a portion of cement with secondary raw materials or to use other alternative binders. Among the commonly used cements replacements is currently fly ash which is produced during the coal combustion. In this paper the influence of cement/ash ratio in a paste on paste’s porosity is investigated using mercury intrusion porosimetry.
