Behavior of composite cement pastes containing microsilica and fly ash at elevated temperature
Highlights ► Five mass% SF showed the higher values of bulk density than the other pastes. ► Cement pastes containing 10, 15, and 20mass% SF is thermally stable up to 600°C. ► SF10 and SF15 have higher resistance to fire than all SF-pozzolanic cement pastes. ► Strength of cement pastes with 5–10 mass% FA increases by 39.3% and 35.7% at 450°C. ► Composite cements with 10% SF and FA% have good fire resistance up to 450°C.
Abstract The work aims to study the effect of substitution of micro-silica (SF) and fly ash (FA) on the behavior of composite cement pastes exposed to elevated temperature. The composite cements are composed of 80mass% OPC with variable amounts of SF and/or FA. The fire resistance of composite cement pastes was evaluated after firing at 250, 450, 600, and 800°C with rate of heating 3°C/min for 3h soaking time. The physico-mechanical characteristics such as total porosity, bulk density and compressive strength of cement pastes were determined at each firing temperature. Moreover, the phase composition, free lime and microstructure for some selected samples were investigated. Cement pastes containing 10 and 15mass% have higher firing resistance than all SF-pozzolanic cement pastes at 600°C. It can be also, concluded that the composite cement pastes made from 10% of SF and 10% FA have good fire resistance in comparison with cement pastes made from only SF-pozzolanic cement pastes up to 450°C.
