Fly ash (FA), silica fume (SF) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (BFS) are used in different amounts to partially replace portland cement (PC) on mass basis to prepare mortars mixtures with different water-binder ratios. In all mixtures, a constant amount of a polycarboxylate based high range water reducing admixture was used. The rheological measurements of fresh mortars were taken right after mixing and at 10 and 20 minutes after mixing by using a two-probe eBT2 rheometer. The effect of each mineral admixture amount on relative yield stress and relative viscosity of mortars were determined and compared with those of the control mixtures without any mineral admixture. General rheological behavior of these mixtures were determined and analyzed. Eight different flow models proposed by other researchers are checked for suitability to the experimental data obtained and a new model is proposed. The suitability of the proposed model was checked both for portland cement and mineral admixture-incorporated cement mortars and it was found to be a better model than all other models when compared to the other proposed models, so far.

Sulfate resistance of cementitious systems with mineral additives Dilek, Faruk Tuncer; Tokyay, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2002) Sulfate resistance of mortars containing limestone, trass, granulated blast furnace slag and fly ash has been evaluated using ASTM C 1012 test procedure. Prismatic and cubic mortar specimens have been stored in concentrated sodium sulfate and a mixture of sodium sulfate + magnesium sulfate solutions. Relative deterioration of the specimens has been determined by length change, weight change, strength and visual examination. From similar mixtures, cement paste specimens were prepared and structure/morphology...
Comparison of intergrinding and separate grinding for the production of natural pozzolan and GBFS-incorporated blended cements Erdogdu, K; Tokyay, Mustafa; Turker, P (1999-05-01) A portland cement clinker, a natural pozzolan, and a granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) were used to obtain blended cements that contain 25% mineral additives. The natural pozzolan, which was softer, was more grindable and granulated blast furnace slag, which was harder, was less grindable than the clinker. Two of the cements produced were obtained by intergrinding and the other two were obtained by separate grinding and then blending. All of the blended cements and the control cement without any additive...
Influence of slag fineness on the strength and heat evolution of multiple-clinker blended cements Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan (2017-11-30) Three clinkers and a blast furnace slag, ground separately, were combined to produce 27 cements. Each cement consisted of 35% fine (similar to 6000 cm(2)/g), 25% intermediate (similar to 4000 cm(2)/g), and 40% coarse (similar to 2500 cm(2)/g) particles. Slag made up the fine or intermediate particles in the blended cements, clinkers making up the remainder. Compressive strength was measured up to 28 d on mortars and heat evolution was investigated up to 48 h using isothermal calorimetry. Portland cements wi...
Investigation of emission and combustion kinetics of waste wood samples with thermal and spectral methods Yorulmaz (Yurdakul), Sema; Atımtay, Aysel; Department of Environmental Engineering (2006) The mechanisms and kinetics of combustion of waste wood as well as the phases during combustion processes are important to eliminate these wastes without any possible damage to environment. In the present study, combustion mechanisms, activation energy and pre-exponential constants, and phases of combustion were investigated for untreated natural pine and treated Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF), plywood and particleboard samples that involve some chemicals and additives. Waste wood samples were heated in ai...
Mutual activation of blast furnace slag and a high-calcium fly ash rich in free lime and sulfates Sahin, Murat; Mahyar, Mahdi; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan (2016-11-15) Alkaline activation of fly ash and blast furnace slag has gained interest due to a desire to avoid Portland cement in mixtures. Outstanding mechanical performance and durability is reported, but often when the activator dosage is high which can have various negative environmental impacts that can overshadow the carbon reduction benefit. This study investigates the use of a ground slag, and a high-lime fly ash, rich in free lime and sulfates, to activate each other and render mortars which don't incorporate ...
