Properties of volcanic pumice based cement and lightweight concrete
The results of investigations on the suitability of using volcanic pumice (VP) as cement replacement material and as coarse aggregate in lightweight concrete production are reported. Tests were conducted on cement by replacing 0% to 25% of cement by weight and on concrete by replacing 0% to 100% of coarse aggregate by volume. The physical and chemical properties of VP are critically reviewed to evaluate the possible influence on both fresh and hardened state of cement and concrete. The standard tests on different Portland cement-volcanic pumice powder (VPP) mixes provided encouraging results and showed good potential of manufacturing Portland volcanic pumice cement (PVPC) with higher setting time using up to 15% of VPP. The properties of volcanic pumice concrete (VPC) using different percentages of volcanic pumice aggregate (VPA) were evaluated by conducting comprehensive series of tests on workability, strength, drying shrinkage, surface absorption and water permeability. It is concluded that the VPC has sufficient strength and adequate density to be accepted as structural lightweight concrete. However, compared to control concrete, the VPC has lower modulus of elasticity and has more permeability and initial surface absorption.
