Effect Of Partial Replacement Of Cement With Wastage Of Manufactureid Aac And Clc Blocks In Cement Mortar

Abstract

In The Current Construction-oriented Environment, It Is Crucial To Find An Additional Cementing Material That Can Enhance Strength While Minimizing Negative Environmental Consequences. The Main Objective Of This Research Project Is To Assess The Feasibility Of Using Autoclave-aerated Concrete Block Dust And Cellular Lightweight Concrete As Partial Substitutes For Cement. Essential Properties Such As Consistency And Specific Gravity Were Evaluated And Compared To Those Of Conventional Portland Cement. The Study Reveals That Incorporating Cellular Lightweight Concrete Block Dust As A Replacement For Up To 20% Of The Standard Mortar Cube Improves Its Strength. However, Higher Levels Of Replacement Result In Slower Hydration And A Porous Microstructure, Leading To Reduced Compressive Strength Of The Cube. The Study Also Indicates That Mortar Cubes Containing 20% Replacement Of Cellular Lightweight Concrete Block Dust Exhibit A Higher Calcite Content Compared To Those With No Replacement, As Observed In A Sample Cube.
