Mechanical Fracture Parameters of Fine-Grain Concretes with Zeolite: Effect of Composition and Origin of Cements

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper introduces results of fracture experiments on fine-grain concrete specimens prepared from CEM 42.5 R Portland cement of different origin (five Czech Republic localities: Mokrá, Hranice, Radotín, Prachovice, Čížkovice), with natural zeolite admixture. Although the specimens were produced using the same type of cement, this paper shows that even small differences in chemical and mineralogical composition (caused by different origin) can result in changes of mechanical fracture parameter values.
