Abstract

Building structures can suffer from mechanical, physical and chemical pathologies. One of the serious hazards that can drastically reduce the service life of concrete structures is fire or high temperatures. The use of fine additive materials (FAM) can be a good way for enhancing the fire resistance of concrete. This paper aims to produce an eco-efficient and cheaper self-compacting mortar (SCM) that has a sufficient resistance to high temperatures, by replacing a part of cement with powders from recycled materials, such as glass and ceramic. Nine mixtures were prepared and tested, one as reference mix and eight containing, separately, different proportions in mass of ceramic and glass powders with 5, 15, 25 and 50%. In order to study the behavior of SCM at high temperatures, a total of 135 specimens of 40 × 40 × 160 mm were cast and left cured for 28 days and then subjected to different temperatures (400 °C, 600 °C, 800 °C and 1000 °C) for 2 h. The degradation was assessed by measuring the loss of mass, compressive strength, flexural strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) for each temperature. Under conventional temperature, both of compressive and flexural strength and UPV decreased with introducing ceramic and glass powders. The optimal percentage use of ceramic and glass powders under fire conditions is 5%. This percentage can be increased to 15% or 25% to obtain SCM with acceptable mechanical and physical properties. The replacement of 50% of cement with glass powder caused a significant reduction in the mechanical performance of SCM mixture compared to ceramic powder at the same percentage.
