Filler effect of fine particle sand on the compressive strength of mortar

Abstract: The river sand, which is a non-pozzolanic material, was ground into 3 different particle sizes. Portland cement type I was replaced by the ground river sands at 10wt%−40wt% of binder to cast mortar. Compressive strengths of mortar were investigated and the filler effect of different fine particles of sand on the compressive strength of mortar was evaluated. The results show that the compressive strength of mortar contributed from the filler effect of smaller particles is higher than that of the coarser ones. T… Show more

“…These results suggest that a particle size smaller than OPC has very important role in increasing the compressive strength because of the filler effect [30]. The results of the filler effect for pastes agrees closely with the result obtained by Jaturapitakkul et al [31], who reported that the difference in the percentage compressive strengths between mortar containing the same particle sizes of inert material and small sizes of inert material was up to 5.8% of the strength of the mortar.…”

“…For comparison, the C30 results are six times worse according to percentage. It was concluded that milled quartz sand filled micropores and formed a sturdy microstructure [ 39 , 40 ].…”

“…Kocaba et al [20] studied the methods for determination of degree of reactions of pastes containing GGBF slag using an isothermal conduction calorimeter, selective dissolution, differential scanning calorimetry, image analysis, and chemical shrinkage. Jaturapitakkul et al [21] used GRS in the form of quartz with the same particle size as PC (median particle size of 11.5 micron) as an inert material to evaluate compressive strengths obtained from cement hydration and packing effect. However, their study did not cover the packing effect and the slag reaction of GGBF slag contributing to the compressive strength.…”
