The article deals with the classification of fillers according to the type and method of rock processing and their use as a partial cement replacement in the concrete mixture. The aim is to better classify fillers by their origin, maximise their usability and design a concrete mixture with effective use of filler as a cement replacement.
The article compares the fillers that originated from natural stone. The research is focused primarily on the granite filler, as it is not currently explored in detail. As the results of existing research differ, tests of the filler and its effect on the compressive strength of cement composites were performed, for better characterization of the effect of filler pozzolanic activity. The results of the tests are compared with each other, and the probable causes of differences in the individual research results are described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
