Diffusivity Of Chloride And Sulphate Ions Into Mortar Cubes Made Using Ordinary Portland And Portland Pozzolana Cements

ABSTRACT Cement is subject to degradation by aggressive media found in the environment. Durability tests are therefore necessary for any cementitious material in a given aggressive environment. This study investigated chloride and sulphate diffusivity in mortar made from selected Kenyan cements. The test cements included three brands of Ordinary Portland Cements (OPC) and three brands of Portland Pozzolana Cements (PPC). The test cements were used to make mortar prisms at different water / ce...

Investigation on the Characteristics of Cornstalk Ash Blended Cement

ABSTRACT Analysis of investigation on the characteristics of cornstalk blended ash cement was carried out based on the interest of coming out with a good pozzolanic material with all required cement properties. Hence, the supposed competitive demand relationship between cement products in construction works has been majorly wined by cement and this makes people to depend mostly on it despite the increase in price and some with inadequate properties.           In an attempt to reuse ...
