Properties of Concrete with Lower Amount of SCM

Article Preview

Abstract:

Basic physical properties, pore structure, hygric properties and frost resistance concrete containing supplementary cementing materials. The amount of SCMs was kept constant to replace 10% of cement. Experimental results show that bulk density and matrix density of studied material vary only slightly except the mixture with fine natural pozzolana which achieved lower values in comparison with the reference material. This is in agreement with open porosity and transport of liquid water - its highest values manifest the worst performance of fine natural pozzolana among the studied materials. Frost resistance was found to be satisfactory for all mixtures except material with fine natural pozzolana and with fly ash.
