Effect of the polynaphtalene sulfonate based superplasticizer on mechanical and physical properties of blended cement replaced with Bayburt Stone at different fineness

In this study, grinded Bayburt Stone has pozzolanic property with 45 mu m and 125 mu m fineness was replaced with PC 42.5R (CEM-I) type cement at ratio of 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% by weight. The aim of this study was made up in two phase, one of them was to investigate the effects of Bayburt Stone waste contain zeolite with different fineness on physical and mechanical properties of composite cements and the other one was to investigate behavior of same superplasticizer belong to two different company. Standard consistency, setting time and volume expansion tests are performed on the cement pastes and compression strength and flow tests are performed on the cement mortars. Mortar specimens are kept in standard curing for 28 days, than compressive strength test are performed at the ages of 2, 7 and 28 days. As a result, changes in specific surface area depending on the particle size distribution of mineral additives makes significant different on the physical, mechanical and rheological properties of cement mortars. In this study, it was determined that same type of superplasticizers which had different companies could be used in blended cement replaced with Bayburt stone.
