Physical-Chemical Characterization and Exploitation of an Ultra Fine Local in Mortars

Abstract

The present study aims to explore a suitable alternative to the current ultrafine material used in the formulation of concrete and mortar. The objective is to focus on the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of the new local ultrafine material within the cement matrix. The idea is to enhance the performance of mortars by utilizing an ultrafine material sourced locally, such as clay or dune sand, while promoting sustainable practices in the construction industry.

The obtained results will provide insights into the impact of incorporating local ultrafine material on the properties of cement-based mortars, particularly concerning their strength, durability, and overall performance. These findings will pave the way for the development of more efficient and sustainable formulations for concrete and mortar.

Furthermore, this study will encourage the use of locally sourced materials, thereby contributing to reducing environmental impact and increasing sustainability in the construction sector. By promoting the utilization of abundant local resources, this research can foster a more environmentally friendly and economically viable approach to construction materials in the industry.

In summary, this research aims to explore the potential benefits of using local ultrafine material in cement-based mortars, with the goal of improving the durability and performance of construction materials while promoting more sustainable practices in the construction field. By adopting this approach, the industry can move closer to its sustainable development objectives by reducing its environmental footprint and advocating for responsible use of local resources.
