Abstract

This study reports on an ongoing research project aimed at producing sustainable construction material for the precast concrete industry. This chapter studies the physical and chemical properties of materials, compressive strength, flexural strength, water absorption and porosity of multi-blended cements under different curing methods. Fly ash (FA), palm oil fuel ash (POFA) and rice husk ash (RHA) were used to replace 50% ordinary Portland cement by mass. Specimens were cured in water (WC), air under room temperature (AC), the combination of hot water at 60 °C for 24 h and curing in water (HWC) and air (HAC). The results showed that HAC could be an effective curing method with higher compressive and flexural strengths and lower water absorption and porosity for blended cement mortars. Mortars containing ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) in binder had higher enhancement of compressive strength under early hot-water curing, while at 24 h hot-water curing, mortar containing ordinary Portland cement (OPC)–RHA–FA binder showed better performance in properties compared to the other binders.
