Abstract
This paper influences the utilization of aquatic calcium carbonate (CaCO3) as the partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement. The aquatic calcium carbonate (ACC) was used in cement mortar and evaluated the mechanical performance. The mechanical properties of cement mortar are experimented by compressive strength and flexural strength testing and the physical properties are experimented by water absorption, density, specific gravity tests and the chemical components and microstructures are analysed by Mapping, SEM and XRD analysis. Experimental tests were carried out for the three proportional specimens. During the curing period, the water absorption rate is similar to the conventional mortar and the specific gravity attains similar as an equivalent to cement. On the mechanical properties, there is a deviation in strength, if aquatic calcium carbonate dosage increases the compressive strength decreases. An experimental investigation shows the optimum dosage of ACC as the replacement by product gives potential and renewable energy resource activation in cement mortar. The result indicated the aquatic calcium carbonate mortar enhanced the strength through physical and chemical properties interaction with fine aggregate and the parallel comparison between the aquatic calcium carbonate mortar and conventional limestone cement validated the surface properties and chemical reactivates are better than the conventional cement mortar in cement system.
