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

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
Porosity and pore size distribution measurements using mercury intrusion are reported for blended mortars (incorporating fly ash) dried by four different drying techniques. The drying techniques were: direct oven drying, solvent replacement drying, and two variations of freeze drying. Significant di
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
