    The Effect of Different Aggresive Condition on Mortars of Cem I, Cem II and Boron Cement
    (Gazi Univ, 2014) Yaprak, Hasbi; Demir, Ilhami; Kaplan, Gokhan
    This study investigates the sea water and ammonium nitrate resistance of cement mortars when subjected to different exposure conditions. Cement mortar samples were prepared using Boron, CEM I and CEM III/A cements. Mortar specimens were stored under three different conditions: continuous curing in lime-saturated tab water, continuous exposure to sea water, and continuous exposure to 5% ammonium nitrate solution (AN), at a temperature of 20 +/- 3 degrees C, for 2, 7, 14, 28 and 90 days. Prisms with dimensions of 25x25x285 mm, to determine the expansions of the mortar samples; and another set of prisms with dimensions of 40x40x160 mm, were prepared to calculate the compressive strength of the samples. For all environmental conditions and ages, the lowest expansion is found for CEM III/A cement mortars. It has been observed that CEM III/A cement mortars have the highest resistance for both sea water and environments with ammonium nitrate.

    Valorization of Seawater as an Activator for Mixing and Curing Water in Mid-Strength Concrete Containing Class C Fly Ash: Strength, Economic and Environmental Benefits
    (Springer Int Publ Ag, 2023) Aruntas, Huseyin Yilmaz; Korkmaz, Yusuf; Demir, Ilhami; Kaplan, Gokhan
    Fly ash (FA), which is utilized to create the next generation of green concrete for contemporary buildings, is widely accessible throughout the world. This study investigated the activation of concretes with 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% Class C fly ash (CFA) by seawater. Seawater was used for curing and mixing water to determine the effectiveness of the activation process. Fresh state, compressive strength, carbon footprint and cost properties of CFA and non-CFA concrete were analyzed. Fresh state, compressive strength, carbon footprint and cost properties of CFA and without CFA concrete were analyzed. The slump values of the concrete were adjusted according to the S3 class specified in the EN 206 standard. The densities of the fresh concretes ranged between 2366 and 2417 kg/m3, while the fresh densities decreased slightly as the CFA content increased. The 28-day compressive strength of the concretes varied between 17.9 and 39.1, and the 90-day compressive strength ranged between 22.2 and 40.4 MPa. Generally, using up to 10% CFA can increase compressive strength. Using seawater as mixing water rather than curing water increases the compressive strength. The CO2 emissions and costs of concretes decrease as the CFA content increases. Concrete using 20% CFA can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 19% and costs by up to 6% compared to the reference. As a result, the carbon and cost performances of the concrete improve more when seawater is used in the mix water, and CFA is used at a ratio of 10%. In addition, seawater is more suitable for the activation process of CFA-containing concretes.
