Abstract

The nature of fly ash comprises residual carbon and the tendency ofinteraction between surfactants and carbon residue poses a problem for theperformance of cement-based materials. Moreover, heat curing of concrete-likematerials may be more prone to such microstructural degradation. To elaboratefurther on this issue, an experimental study was carried out to evaluate the effect ofair-entraining admixture on the different volumes of fly ash-bearing heat-curedcement mortars. The mechanical properties of air-entrained cement mortarsincorporating fly ash were evaluated at different ages. A comparative investigationwas also performed with microstructural analysis. The interaction of carbonaceousmaterials and the air-entraining admixture was further discussed by taking accountof the mechanical and microstructural findings. Results indicate that using air-entraining admixture with 25% fly ash by weight of total cementitious materialsexhibited promising results in comparison with the heat-cured cement mortars thatdo not include air-entraining admixture. However, beyond 55% of fly ash by weightof total cementitious materials is not recommended for the air-entrained cementmortars produced with heat curing.

Özet

Uçucu külün doğası karbon kalıntısı içermektedir ve yüzey aktif maddeler ile karbon kalıntısı arasındaki etkileşim çimento esaslı malzemelerin performansı için sorun teşkil etmektedir. Buna ek olarak, beton gibi malzemelerin ısı ile kür edilmesi bu tip mikro yapısal bozulmayı daha açık hale getirebilir. Bu konuyu daha fazla detaylandırmak üzere, hava sürükleyici katkı maddesinin, farklı hacimlerde uçucu kül içeren ısı kürü ile kür edilmiş çimento harçları üzerindeki etkisi deneysel bir çalışma ile incelenmiştir. Uçucu kül içeren hava sürükleyici katkılı çimento harçlarının mekanik özellikleri farklı yaşlarda değerlendirilmiştir. Karşılaştırmalı araştırma ayrıca mikro yapısal analizlerle de gerçekleştirilmiştir. Karbon esaslı malzemelerin ve hava sürükleyici katkı maddesinin etkileşimi mekanik ve mikro yapısal bulgular dikkate alınarak ayrıntılı olarak tartışılmıştır. Sonuçlar, hava sürükleyici katkı maddesi ile toplam bağlayıcı malzeme ağırlığınca %25 uçucu kül kullanılmasının, hava sürükleyici katkı içermeyen ısı ile kür edilmiş çimento harçlarına kıyasla olumlu olduğunu göstermektedir. Ancak ısı ile kür edilmiş ve hava sürükleyici katkı maddesi içeren çimento esaslı harçlarda uçucu külün %55’ten fazla kullanımı ise tavsiye edilmemektedir.
