Effect of Humidity on the Properties of Cement Mortars with a Crystalline Additive

Abstract:

The paper focuses on examining the properties of mortars in which secondary crystallization (crystalline additive) was used. Laboratory tests have found that the effect of secondary crystallization is influenced by conditions in which specimens have been stored during the first 28 days. The investigation focused on the physical-mechanical properties and microstructure of mortar specimens containing a crystalline additive and polypropylene fibres stored at different levels of humidity for 28 days. The influence of crystalline additive on strength was studied as well and the results show that crystalline additives improves the 28-day strength of the mortars.
