Manufacturing of high-performance light-weight mortar through addition of biochars of millet and maize

Effect of Bio-Char of Santa Maria Feverfew Plant on Physical Properties of Fresh Mortar

“…This, in turn, reduces the density. These results are in accordance with the previous literature [6,7].…”

“…The results revealed that the addition enhanced the compressive strength and ductility of the end products. Tayyab et al incorporated the bio-char of millet and maize in mortar [6]. The authors reported an enhancement of the fracture toughness and ductility of the specimens.…”

Improvement of Early-Age Mechanical Properties of Cement Mortar by Adding Biochar of the Santa Maria Feverfew Plant

“…The results reveal that the addition enhanced the compressive strength and ductility of the end products. Tayyab et al incorporated the biochar of millet and maize in mortar [6]. The authors reported an enhanced fracture toughness and ductility of the specimens, which was attributed to crack bridging/branching due to the fibrous nature of biochar.…”
