Brittleness Determination for Cement Blends with Siliceous Additives
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.
