✦ Synopsis


The effect of three fillers (ground limestone, dolomite and basalt) on the strength of cement mortars was studied on 1:2.75 mixes having a w/c ratio of 0.70.

The filler content ranged from i0 to 40% of the cement weight and their fineness (specific surface) from 1,150 to 11,200 sq.cm per g. Results confirmed earlier conclusions that fillers effect on strength is primarily an accelerating effect on the cement hydration. The improvement in strength is essentially the same for all nonpozzolanic fillers increasing with both filler content and fineness.

In part, this improvement in strength is attributable to the increase in the density of the mix (i.e. a lower air content) associated with the use of fillers.

There is some indirect evidence that monocalcium carboaluminate is formed when the finest limestone filler (10,300 sq.cm per g) is used.

This formation, however, apparently does not affect strength Der Einfluss yon drei Fdllstoffen (gemahlener Kalkstein, Dolomit und Basalt) auf die Festigkeit von Zementm~rteln einer 1:2.75 Mischung und einem Wasser/Zementverh~itnis yon 0.70 wurde untersucht. Die Zugabe von FUllstoffen wurde zwischen 10% und 40% des Zementgewichts, und deren Feinheit (spezifische Oberfl~che) zwischen 1,150 und 11,200 cm 2 per gr ge~ndert.

Die Ergebnisse best~tigen die frUhere Folgerung, dass der Einfluss der FUllstoffe vorwiegend auf deren beschleunlgendem Einfluss auf die Zementhydration beruht. Die resultierende Festigkeitszunahme ist im Wesentlichen dieselbe fdr alle nicht-pozzolanischen FHllstoffe und steigt mit wachsendem Prozentsatz des zugegebenen FHllstoffes und dessen Feinheit.

Teilweise und in kleinerem Masse kann diese Festigkeitszunahme auf die dichtere Mischung (d.h.niedrigeren Luftgehalt) zurHckgefuhrt werden, die mit der Benutzung von FUllstoffen verbunden ist.

Es bestehen indirekte Beweise, dass die Nutzung von feinen KalksteinfUllstoffen (10,300 cm 2 per gr) mit der Bildung von Monocalcium Carboaluminat verbunden ist, diese hat aber anscheinend kelne Wirkung auf die Festigkeit.
