Description
Summary:Article contains experiment investigating influence of partial cement replacement by zeolite on consistency of fresh concrete, early compressive strength development and temperature development in early stages of curing. Four concrete mixture compositions were tested – containing zeolite in 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% of binder weight. Consistency was tested by flow table test in 5 minutes and 30 minutes after mixing of fresh concrete. Compressive strength and temperature gain were tested after 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours of curing. Results showed significant influence of zeolite on consistency of fresh concrete while compressive strength results were still in the acceptable range.
