compressive and flexural strength

The paper presents research of brittleness cement blends with siliceous additives using impact strength. The advantages of the developed method are simplicity of definition, low cost of equipment and operation. In the presented research were studied additives on the basis of finely ground glass obtained from waste glass containers and pozzolanic additives as fly ash, silica fume and synthetic silica. Increase in additives amount in respect to the cement mass reduces brittleness by ~10 % after 28 days of curing.

For the protection of walls against salt dampness various plasters and coatings are proposed. The plasters which presented the ability to transport the salt solution from the substrate, assuring the materials durability, are preferable in respect to traditional plasters such as cementplaster. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of natural zeolite additives in the production lime plasters meant for salted walls. This paper addresses the results of investigation of lime plaster with zeolites.
