The effect of heat treatment on the compressive strength of cement-slag mortars
Highlights ► The heating process 60°C in duration of 20h is the optimum for slag used in this study. ► In heat duration 4h and above, early strengths of air cured OSM/50 is higher than those cured in water. ► The strengths obtained for OSM/50 at 3 and 7days are 58 and 64MPa, respectively. ► Production of more ettringite at early ages resulted in higher early strengths. ► Both the temperature and relative humidity effects simultaneously affected early age strengths.
Abstract Thirty-eight mix proportions of ordinary Portland cement-slag mortars (OSMs) were used to study the effects of temperature and relative humidity on strength. Three levels of slag (0%, 40%, and 50%) and different temperatures were used; the 50% level and heat curing of 60°C for duration of 20h were found to be the optimum. The optimum mortar’s strength at 3 and 7days for the specimens cured in air were 55.0 and 62.0MPa, respectively. The results show that for durations of 4–26h, the strength of specimens cured in air is greater than those cured in water. This is a novelty with major advantages in arid areas. It was proved that more ettringite production at early ages resulted in higher early strengths. Comparison of curing regimes with different temperatures and the same relative humidity or different relative humidity and the same temperatures showed that higher strengths are attributed to higher temperatures and lower relative humidity, respectively.
