“…Results of drying shrinkage presented worldwide are often not consistent because of nonuniform methods, apparatus, and curing conditions; these results are discussed in both positive and negative ways [21,24,34]. Here, the method of relative linear deformation is given for the direct comparison of two kinds of mortars cured under the same conditions, while the effect of zeolite is clearly visible.…”

This study is aimed at the utilization of natural zeolite as a prospective type of Supplementary Cementitious Material in connection with the innovations of construction solutions through the materials. The influence of zeolite on several properties of cement-based composites is studied. Basic characteristics of input powdery materials as well as the technological parameters of zeolite tested on mortar containing 50% of cement replacement are presented. The technical parameters of concrete containing 8, 13, and 25% of cement replacement by zeolite are presented as well. The paper is valuable due to the three-year testing period. The density of the hardened concrete was found to be decreasing with increasing zeolite content. While no significant differences in compressive strength were found after 28 days, differences between individual samples were clear after the long-term period. The presence of zeolite influenced the compressive strength positively in the case of the 8% and 13% replacement, while the higher proportion of natural zeolite (25%) caused lower compressive strength after 28 days but was similar to the reference concrete after three years. A major increase in strength was detected for all samples in the long-term period. It confirms the long-term potential of zeolite for strength improvement.

“…Ahmadi and Shekarchi [42] showed that the concretes containing natural zeolite with a w/cm ratio of 0.40 displayed higher compressive strength than the control mixture at the ages of 3, 7, 28, and 90 days, whereas contrary results were obtained for the concretes with a w/cm ratio of 0.5 in the present study. Markiv et al [43] showed, recently, that the substitution of cement by zeolite resulted in some reduction in strength until 90 days of hardening, but after 180 days, compressive strength of concretes containing zeolite exceeds the strength of concrete without zeolite.…”

“…When zeolite is added to the cement, at a level of around 10%, some characteristics are modified, such as, an increase in compressive strength [43,85], a decrease in pore size [86,87], and an increase in corrosion resistance to the acid solution [55,88].…”

Zeolites have been widely used in various industries, leading to a high commercial value; this is mainly due to the wide diversity of naturally occurring species and the ability to synthesize new types. In the cement and concrete industry, natural zeolite is a popular natural pozzolanic material in some regions of the world owing to their economic, environmental, and technical advantages, among others, used pozzolanic materials. Many works have reported the use of natural zeolite as substituent material for cement in mortar and concrete. Generally, the use of natural zeolite can overcome environmental and economic problems associated with the use of high quantity of cement; furthermore, it is shown a strength enhancement and durability improvement properties of cement and concrete composites. In this context, this chapter strives to review the application of natural zeolite as pozzolan in cement and concrete composites, its characteristic, its proper incorporation, and each of the influencing parameters. In addition, the elaboration methods, textural and mechanical characterization, and applications of these composites will be treated.

“…Supplementary cementitious materials are mainly by-products of industrial production, such as silica fume (SF), fly ash (FA), granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS), stone powders and others. As a SCMs can be also used natural minerals like zeolite [5]. The average amount of clinker in cement declined from 85% in 2003 to 77% in 2010, and it is expected to decrease further to 71% in the future.…”

Abstract. Concrete is the most widely used man-made construction material in civil engineering applications. The consumption of cement and thus concrete, increases day by day along with the growth of urbanization and industrialization and due to new developments in construction technologies, population growing, increasing of living standard. Concrete production consumes much energy and large amounts of natural resources. It causes environmental, energy and economic losses. The most important material in concrete production is cement. Cement industry contributes to production of about 7% of all CO 2 generated in the world. Every ton of cement production releases nearly one ton of CO 2 to atmosphere. Thus the concrete and cement industry changes the environment appearance and influences it very much. Therefore, it has become very important for construction industry to focus on minimizing the environmental impact, reducing energy consumption and limiting CO 2 emission. The need to meet these challenges has spurred an interest in the development of a blended Portland cement in which the amount of clinker is reduced and partially replaced with mineral additives -supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). Many researchers have studied the possibility of using another mineral powder in mortar and concrete production. The addition of marble dust, basalt powder, granite or limestone powder positively affects some properties of cement mortar and concrete. This paper presents an experimental study on the properties of cement paste and mortar containing basalt powder. The basalt powder is a waste emerged from the preparation of aggregate used in asphalt mixture production. Previous studies have shown that analysed waste used as a fine aggregate replacement, has a beneficial effect on some properties of mortar and concrete, i.e. compressive strength, flexural strength and freeze resistance also. The present study shows the results of the research concerning the modification of cement paste and mortar with basalt powder. The modification consists in that the powder waste was added as partial replacement of cement. Four types of common cement were examined, i.e. CEM I, CEM II/A-S, CEM II/A-V and CEM II/B-V. The percentages of basalt powder in this research are 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% by mass. Results showed that the addition of basalt powder improved the strength of cement mortar. The use of mineral powder as the partial substitution of cement allows the effective management of industrial waste and improves some properties of cement mortar.
