The use of coagulated silica as active mineral admixture in cement-based fine grained mortars

Original language description

In this paper, the possible use of commercially produced coagulated silica for preparation of fine-grained cement mortars is examined. Chemical and physical analysis of coagulated silica is performed first and the obtained data is compared with reference values measured for Portland cement. In mortars composition, coagulated silica is used as a substitute for Portland cement. The replacement ratio is 5-20 vol. %. The dosage of batch water is 0.5 and is maintained similar for all mortars mixes. Behaviour of fresh mortars is characterized by penetration time. For the hardened samples cured 28 days in water, bulk density, matrix density, and total open porosity are accessed. The contribution of coagulated silica to the mechanical resistance of the developed mortars is evaluated on the basis of flexural strength, compressive strength, and Young’s modulus measurements. In addition, liquid water transport parameters and thermal properties of hardened samples are tested. Obtained results show gradual shortening of enetration time with increasing content of silica in mortar mix. On the other hand, the use of coagulated silica led to the decrease in the total open porosity and thus improved mechanical resistance of silica-enriched mortars compared to reference material. The effect of silica use on mortars liquid water transport properties is minimal, typically in the range of measuring uncertainty. The embedded air gaps in the coagulated clusters partially retarded heat transport in silicacement-based hardened products, the highest decrease in thermal conductivity of approx. 23 % is observed for mortar with 15% cement replacement. Base on the performed experimental tests, the tested coagulated silica can be applied for improvement of specific properties of cement-based construction materials, considering its chemical and physical parameters.
