The effect of volume fraction porosity on the mechanical properties of cement mortar is studied. It is shown that both the Young's modulus and fracture toughness decrease with porosity. Although the flexural strength also decreases with porosity the linear relationship is largely fortuitous. Maxim

Previous studies demonstrated that crack cutting bonded cement-based repairs is highly detrimental to the durability of such applications. Laboratory tests and field experience showed that fibre reinforcement allowing the control of the crack opening and assuring the structural continuity is a solut
The results from investigations on the physical and mechanical properties of cement mortars and concretes containing the active mineral Pozzolit admixture are presented in this paper. The basic components of this admixture are silica fume (SF) and low calcium content fly ash (FA). The compressive an
