Lightweight Mortar Containing High Amounts of Alternative Raw Materials with Increased Thermal Resistance

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper researches lightweight mortars based on a high content of alternative materials. 25 – 30% heating plant slag was used in order to modify the matrix. Fly ash agloporite (a lightweight aggregate produced by self-combustion from fly ash) was used as an aggregate. Mortars were exposed to the temperatures up to 1,250° C. Two types of cooling were carried out at 1,000° C; controlled slow (in the furnace) and by shock (in water baths of approximate 18° C). Developed materials were further analyzed by various methods: monitoring changes in an observation furnace, physical–mechanical (to determine strength properties), physical-chemical (phase composition - XRD) and microstructural (SEM).
