Zeolite in Concrete

Babak Ahmadi *, Mohammad Shekarchi Construction Materials Institute, Department of Civil Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran abstract Natural zeolite, a type of frame-structured hydrated aluminosilicate mineral, is used abundantly as a type of natural pozzolanic material in some regions of the world. In this work, the effectiveness of a locally quarried zeolite in enhancing mechanical and durability properties of concrete is evaluated and is also compared with other pozzolanic admixtures. The experimental tests included three parts: In the first part, the pozzolanic reactivity of natural zeolite and silica fume were examined by a thermogravimetric method. In ... Read more
