Effect of Elevated Temperatures on Properties of Blended Cements with Clinoptilolite (open access)

Effect of Elevated Temperatures on Properties of Blended Cements with Clinoptilolite

Article investigates the effect of elevated temperature on properties of clinoptilolite blended cements. Clinoptilolite was used at 5 %, 10 %, 15 % and 20 % replacement by weight for Portland cement while sand and water quantities were kept constant in all mix designs. The mortars with 5 % or 10 % cliniptilolite substitution have compressive strength exceeding 42.5 MPa after being subjected to 400 °C and 500 °C.
