We evaluated the chloride permeability and microstructure of Portland cement mortar modified by styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) latex, using mortar samples with various polymer/cement (P/C) mass ratios. The incorporation of SBR improved the chloride penetration resistance along with the general ionic

Curing techniques and curing duration have crucial effects on the strength and other mechanical properties of mortars. Proper curing can protect against moisture loss from fresh mixes. The objective of this experimental work is to examine the compressive strength of ordinary Portland cement mortars
Amorphous nano-silica (nS) particles (0β2.5wt%) by cement were incorporated in cement pastes and mortars, and their effect on the fresh state behaviour was analysed. Rheological tests showed that after 75min from the mixing start, the mortar having 2.5wt% nS shows insufficient flowability to allow i
Although the use of slag has many benefits, its low hydration at early stages causes the strength to be low. Hence, the uses of slag are restricted, even before it needs to be activated. In this investigation, a chemical method was used to activate the ordinary Portland cement-slag mortars (OSM). 37
Evaluation of effects of C A and SOA contents in Portland cement on its compressive strengt6, hydrat!on rate and products. Three cement samples varFing in C3A content and one varying in SO 3 content were used, hydrated initially at three temperatures. Compressive strength, bound water content, free
The experimental investigation is part of a wider research programme, addressed to correlating the modifications in the physical microstructure, due to gypsum addition, with the mechanical behaviour of cement mortars. This fast paper reports on the examination of a series of mortars manufactured wit
