Microstructural Changes Due to Alkali-Silica Reaction during Standard Mortar Test
The microstructural development of mortar bars with silica glass aggregate undergoing alkali-silica reaction (ASR) under the conditions of American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Test C1260 was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and qualitative X-ray microanalysis. Cracking in the aggregate, the hydrated paste, and the paste-aggregate interface was important in the d...
متن کاملEffect of Nanosilica on Mechanical and Microstructural Properties of Cement Mortar
Recently, nanomaterials (such as nanosilica) are receiving special attention because of their ability to improve the performance of concrete compared with traditional mineral admixtures. In this work, a number of specimens were prepared to study the behavior of cement mortar containing nanosilica. The cement replacement by nanosilica of 3% and 5% by weight of cement was used. The mechanical and...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation of Toughness Enhancement in Cement Mortar
This paper presents the results of investigation carried out to improve the mechanical toughness of cement mortar. Toughness is a basic parameter which has to be improved in brick walls, concrete roads, machine foundations, dams etc. Materials fails due to an impact force and vibrations resulting in minor cracks and bonding failure between bricks, it leads to failure of the structure. In order ...
متن کاملNanoindentation of microstructural elements in bone cement
Introduction: Poly(methyl methacrylate), or PMMA bone cement has been a critical material in total joint replacement for over four decades. Modifications used to improve the standard polymer powder/methacrylate monomer system have included the addition of fiber reinforcing phases, bioactive ceramics, antibiotic agents, etc. The microstructural phases in PMMA bone cement can affect its fracture ...
متن کاملUse of olive stone as an additive in cement lime mortar to improve thermal insulation
The process of olive oil extraction produces olive stone, a residue which cause considerable problems of disposal. This paper proposes and analyzes an original use of olive stone in order to improve the heat insulation performances of cement lime mortar and reduce its final density. To this purpose, the paper illustrates a set of small-scale tests, which were conducted on specimens of cement li...
