Reactivity of Brick Powder in Lime Mortars

Article Preview

Abstract:

The article deals with the assessment of three brick powders. Their properties are evaluated on the basis of their pozzolanic activity, specific surface area and amorphous area. The brick powders were used in amounts of 20 and 40% as a substitute for binder in lime mortars. The influence of the powders on the properties of the modified plasters in a hardened state was evaluated via the determination of strength characteristics. It was found that not all brick powders are suitable for use in modified lime mortars.
