Determination of Compressive Strength of Cement and Polymer-Modified Cement Pastes with Pozzolans

Article Preview

Abstract:

The article focuses on the use of tree types of pozzolanic materials in the production of cement pastes and polymer-modified cement pastes. The determined physical-mechanical parameters of the pastes with pozzolanic materials were compared with a pure cement paste. For polymeric modification, ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) was used, which was added to the mortar and concrete during the preparation to improve some properties such as fracture toughness, impermeability and bond strength to various substrates.
