Perlite is a volcanic rock that contains relatively high amounts of SiO2 and Al2O3. Due to its proper chemical composition and glassy structure, it can be used as a pozzolanic addition in blended cements. In this study, ground perlite was used as a cement replacement material in blended cements. Several mortar mixes were prepared to investigate the performance of those cements. The results showed that perlite incorporation caused early age strength losses when compared to the control mortars containing only portland cement; however, the difference between them decreased in time due to the pozzolanic reactions. The strengths of the blended cements were still within the limits of the EN standards. Moreover, it was observed that use of ground perlite increased the durability of portland cement mixes.

Effect of alkali-silica reaction expansion on mechanical properties of concrete Hafçı, Alkan; Turanlı, Lütfullah; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is a chemical deterioration process which arises in concrete due to reactive aggregate from its constituent, sufficient alkalis from cement or external resources and humidity about 85%. ASR gel, formed by the reaction, absorbs water and expands so that it causes expansion and cracking in concrete. ASR has detrimental effects on mechanical properties of concrete. Therefore, ASR which is a long and a constantly progressive reaction may become a threat to the safety of concrete str...
Investigation on the pozzolanic property of perlite for use in producing blended cements Erdem, Tahir Kemal; Erdoğan, Turhan Y.; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) Perlite is a glassy volcanic rock that contains approximately 70-75% silica and 12-18% alumina. There are very large perlite reserves in the world (~6700 million tons) and approximately two thirds of these is in Turkey. Due to its high amounts of silica and alumina, at the beginning of such a study, it seemed that it would be worth first to find out whether perlite possesses sufficient pozzolanic property when it is a finely divided form and then to investigate whether it could be used as a pozzolanic addit...
Use of perlite as a pozzolanic addition in blended cement production Meral, Çağla; Erdoğan, Turhan Y.; Department of Civil Engineering (2004) Perlite is a volcanic glass which has high amount of silica and alumina. Those properties make it a candidate, if finely ground, for being used as a pozzolan. The studies on the pozzolanic properties of perlite are very limited, and none of them has dealt with the use of perlite in the blended cement production. The aim of this study is to investigate the pozzolanic properties of perlite, and if appropriate to investigate perlite̕s usability in blended cement production. For this purpose, perlites from two ...
Effect of reinforcement and pre-stressing force oın ASR expansion Musaoğlu, Orhan; Turanlı, Lütfullah; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2012) Alkali Silica Reaction in concrete is a chemical deterioration process occurring between alkalis in cement paste and reactive aggregates. ASR increases expansion and cracking as well as other durability problems such as freezing and thawing. It is most probable that concrete structure will collapse unless mechanical, mineral, or chemical preventive measures are taken against ASR or this problem is realized and solved in the design stage of the concrete structure or later on. Rather than ordinary preventive ...
Effect of axial stresses on reservoir rocks Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Buket Ulker, E. (2002-10-01) The effect of axial stresses on rock is known to affect porosity, permeability, and rock compressibility and will be important in some reservoir rock types that are buried deep and at high temperatures. The aim of this project is to determine reservoir rock properties under in situ stress conditions and to observe the effects of axial stresses on reservoir rocks. For this purpose, a uniaxial stress device, which is capable of applying axial stress to the core samples, was used. The core samples chosen were ...
