Influence of Synthesized Nanosilica on Properties of Wood Ash Cement Mortar
The effect of incorporating synthesised nanosilica (NS) on selected properties of wood ash (WA) cement mortar was experimentally studied. The mortar was prepared by adding 1, 2, and 3% NS by weight of binder. The binder in this case is referred to as cement alone and cement replaced with 10% WA. A constant water-binder ratio of approximately 0.4 was maintained for cement pastes samples and 0.5 for mortar samples. Control sample was maintained as sample without the addition of WA nor NS. The tests performed are, setting times, flexural strength and compressive strength. The results showed reduction in setting times of WA cement mortar with 1 and 2% NS. Increased in flexural and compressive strength compared to the control sample were observed with WA cement mortar samples with 2% NS.
