Performance Evaluation Of Cement Mortar By Partial Replacement Of Fine Aggregate As Aac Block Owder And Baggase Fibers
Keywords:
AAC WASTE,BAGGASE FIBER,CEMENT MORTAR,SAND REPLACEMENTAbstract
Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks are widely employed in contemporary construction due to their outstanding thermal insulation properties and lightweight nature. Their composition includes lime, Portland cement, water, aluminum powder, calcined gypsum, and quartz sand. These blocks are versatile and can be easily shaped or cut to accommodate specific requirements, making them suitable for various applications.
This research explores strategies to encourage the reuse or recycling of surplus AAC blocks, aiming to maximize their usage in construction. Specifically, the study examines different approaches for incorporating AAC block waste as an alternative to sand in mortar mixtures at varying substitution levels of 0%, 25%, 50%, and 75%. The prepared samples were subjected to compressive strength testing to evaluate their mechanical properties
