| Abstract: |
In this paper, an
experimental investigation on the effect of ternary blending on the various
properties of cement paste and mortar has been reported. The ternary blended
cements have been prepared by using one type of clinker and two types of
pozzolans. Two types of grinding techniques, two different fineness values and
varying amounts of additives have been employed. Besides these, control pastes
and mortars are prepared. The influence of fineness, different grinding
techniques and other parameters on the strength of the ternary blended cements
has been evaluated. The chemical compositions of the pozzolans are consistent
with the requirements given in both the TS 25 (a Turkish standard) and ASTM C
168 standards. The results indicate that the basaltic pumice used in this
study, taken from the Osmaniye-Adana province (Southern
Turkey), can be used as an admixture in cement production. SEM,
XRD and thin section analyses showed that a large quantity of sheet-like CSH was
formed when a combination of basaltic pumice and slag were incorporated in the
mortar.
