The need for retrofitting existing masonry structures is progressively becoming more important due to their continuous deterioration or need to meet the current design requirements of Eurocodes. Textile-Reinforced Mortar (TRM) composite systems have emerged as a sustainable repair methodology suitable for structure retrofitting. Nevertheless, their mechanical performance is still far from being fully investigated. This paper presents an experimental study on the tensile and bond behaviors of a new mortar-based composite consisting of mineral additives, blended cement mortar, and stainless-steel grid. Three different mineral additives (silica fume, fly ash, and blast furnace slag), in binary and ternary systems were used. The experimental study included uniaxial tensile coupon testing on composite specimens and bond tests on composite material applied to clay-brick substrate. The results obtained with the different textile-reinforced cement-based mortars were compared and are discussed here. It was found that, for mortar formulations containing mineral additives—such as fly ash or blast-furnace slag—with high tensile and bond strengths, an adequate adherence between the constituents was obtained. The developed mortar presents mechanical performances equivalent to traditional mortars without additives. The study contributes to the existing knowledge regarding the structural behavior of TRM and promotes the development of a low impact carbon cementitious matrix.

Pre-stressed high-strength concrete piles (PHCP) are widely used in the building industry in China. The main aim of our research was to investigate the utilization of quartz powder, fly ash, and blast furnace slag as mineral additives to prepare PHCP mortar. The samples were prepared using steam and autoclaving steaming. The influence of minerals on the sulfate resistance of mortar was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) tests. The results showed that when compared to single doped quartz powder samples, samples prepared using fly ash or blast furnace slag improved the sulfate resistance of the PHCP mortar. Furthermore, the resistance to sulfate attack of samples with dual doped quartz powder, fly ash, and blast furnace slag also improved. MIP tests showed that mineral additives can change the pore size distribution after autoclave curing. However, the number of aching holes increased after mixing with 20% quartz powder and caused a decrease in the sulfate resistance.

Results of an experimental study focused on evaluating the suitability of selected alternative additives and their influence on high temperature resistance of repair mortars based on cement are presented in the article. As an alternative substitute, fly ash and blast furnace slag were selected and added in different dosage up to 10% of cement weight not as a substitution component. Aggregates of amphibolite origin were chosen in regard to the thermal resistance to high temperature.

Abstract This paper describes a study of the effect of partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) by various mineral additives in the screed mixtures. Ceramic powder, blast furnace slag and fly ash were gradually employed in increments of 12.5 wt.% up to 50 wt.% to replace OPC. The mixtures were designed to a constant consistency. The influence of mineral additives was evaluated in terms of the air content in the fresh mixtures, the compressive strength, the flexural strength and the freeze-thaw resistance and using non-destructive measurements after 28 and 90 days. The accompanied paste sampleswere analysed using thermogravimetry to monitor the hydration process by means of total bound water content. The decrease in the mechanical properties and the frost resistance of the mixtures with the mineral additives were recorded, because of the necessity for a larger addition of water. According to the valid standards for concrete screed related to the frost resistance, it could be concluded that maximal suitable cement replacement contents are 12.5, 37.5 and 50 wt.% for ceramic powder, fly ash and blast furnace slag, respectively. The freeze-thaw resistance of the studied materials was found to be strongly related to the content of CSH and CAH hydrates.
