Investigation with SEM/EDX, XRD, TGA/DTA and FTIR analyses from a new point of view of the effects on cement mortars of different curing conditions and design parameters
Abstract:The aim of this study is the investigation of microstructural effects on cement mortars (CMs) of four different parameters as cement dosage, water/cement ratio, pozzolanic material and curing effect. To achieve the purpose of this study, SEM/EDX, XRD, FTIR and TGA/DTA analysis were performed. A total of 18 mixtures were produced and exposed to water curing (WC) and air curing (AC). In the design of these mixtures, three different cement dosages as 360, 400 and 450 kg/m 3 and three different water/cement ratios… Show more
