Influence of Redispersible Powder on Properties of Self-Leveling Mortar of Ternary Cementitious System
The self-leveling mortar (SLM) of a ternary cementitious system with different dosages of redispersible powder (RP) with ordinary Portland cement (OPC), sulfoaluminate cement (SAC), and calcium sulfate (CS) as cementitious materials was investigated with regard to fluidity, bond strength, shrinkage...

| description | The self-leveling mortar (SLM) of a ternary cementitious system with different dosages of redispersible powder (RP) with ordinary Portland cement (OPC), sulfoaluminate cement (SAC), and calcium sulfate (CS) as cementitious materials was investigated with regard to fluidity, bond strength, shrinkage rate, abrasion resistance, flexural strength, and compressive strength. The performance parameters obtained from the experimental test for SLM were weighted values calculated with an analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The comprehensive index of performance was evaluated on the basis of a weighted-sum method, and the optimal dosage of RP was determined according to the comprehensive index. The experimental results demonstrated that the fluidity of SLM decreased with the increase in RP dosage at the beginning but then increased thereafter and decreased rapidly as the dosage went beyond 3.0%. The addition of RP resulted in a significant improvement in bond strength (of SLM), reduction in the shrinkage rate, abrasion loss, early flexural strength and compressive strength, and resistance to cracking. The properties of SLM with 3.0% RP can meet the requirements of the industrial standard for cementitious self-leveling floor mortar. Compared with the SLM without RP, the bond strength of SLM with 3.0% RP was increased by 46.7%, while the shrinkage rate and abrasion loss were reduced by 50% and 71.9% respectively. The weighted values of fluidity, compressive strength, flexural strength, stability, cohesiveness, and abrasion resistance were 0.422, 0.196, 0.196, 0.089, 0.058, and 0.039, respectively. A higher value of the comprehensive index generally denotes a better performance. The comprehensive index of SLM with 3.0% RP was the highest. |
