The effect of partial replacement of cement with diatomaceous earth (DE) on the compressive strength and absorption of mortar
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of partial replacement of cement with diatomaceous earth (DE) on the compressive strength and absorption of mortar. The cement volume was replaced by different contents of replacement levels of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% DE. Ordinary Portland Ceme...

| description | The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of partial replacement of cement with diatomaceous earth (DE) on the compressive strength and absorption of mortar. The cement volume was replaced by different contents of replacement levels of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% DE. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and Portland Composite Cement (PCC) were used while the binder and sand were mixed at 1: 2 and 1: 4 vol ratios. Moreover, 5 × 5 × 5 cm3 cubes were used as the test specimens and their compressive strength was determined at 1, 3, 7, and 28 days while the absorption was evaluated at the curing age of 28 days. The results showed that the compressive strength of mortar with OPC for both 1: 2 and 1: 4 ratios decreased with the increment in the content of the DE. However, at 40% cement replacement, the mortar with OPC was categorized as type M according to SNI 6882:2014 or ASTM C270-10 with 28 days compressive strength observed to be greater than 17.2 MPa. Meanwhile, the mortar with PCC for 1: 2 was observed to have the highest compressive strength of 36.63 MPa at 20% cement replacement and 25.39 MPa at 10% cement replacement for 1:4. Furthermore, the absorption of mortar with DE was observed to be greater than for mortar with cement only. |
