Abstract
Drying shrinkage and water absorption are the prominent presenters, describing the durable performance of masonry blended mortars. The present experimental investigation features the resistance toward drying shrinkage and water absorption of binary blended mortars made with eight numbers of different industrial and agricultural by-products. The Portland Cement (PC) was replaced partially with the chemically active by-products for various alteration levels ranging from 5%, 10%, and 15% by weight. The detailed experimental program has been described in two different groups comprising 25 numbers of blended mortar mixes in total which were further cured up to period of 90 days. The findings show that binary blended mortars made with industrial by-products resulted in better resistance toward drying shrinkage and water absorption (due to high reactiveness) compared to agricultural by-products based mortars as well as to that of control mortar. The investigation also infers that usage of the both industrial/agricultural by-products up to the specified amount as an alternative material of PC in blended mortars enhances the resistance toward drying shrinkage and water absorption significantly.
