Effect of different curing conditions on flexural and compressive strength of fly ash mortars
Abstract :
In this study the effect of accelerated curing on the early flexural and compressive strengths of fly ash mortars were investigated. In the mortar mixtures CEM I 42.5 R type cement and C class C fly ash with different proportions were used. 40/40/160 mm prismatic specimens were prepared from these mortars. The mortar samples cured at 7 different curing conditions. Curing conditions are standard curing, 35 °C and 85 °C hot water curing. These curing conditions applied on specimens for different times. Flexural and compressive strengths were performed on the mortar specimens. Obtained test results were comparatively evaluated. The results of this study revealed that, early age strength gain under standard curing conditions due to fly ash inclusion can be compensated by accelerated curing.
