Compressive and Flexural Strengths of Mortar with Silica Aerogel Powder

Excessive usage of sand in construction industries has generated many environmental issues. Silica aerogel, is able to minimise issues while providing thermal resistance for building materials. aerogel properties such as lightweight, nano-porous and very low conductivity compared the mortar matrix. This paper studied compression flexural strengths with silica a replacement. Cement ratio 1:3 was used replaced volumes 15%, 20% 25%. 15% volume replacement powder optimum it possessed highest strength during experimental work. All specimens were achieve minimum Type N non load bearing wall powder. In conclusion, achieved type mortar.
