This study concerns the evaluation of the mechanical characteristics of five mortars produced with a binder containing
different proportions of cow dung ash produced in laboratory with objective to its using as additional mineral in the production
of mortars. Five other mortars are produced with the same binder containing the same proportions cow dung ash produced
traditionally and a standard mortar (control) is also produced with the same binder without any mineral in addition. Some
compressive strength tests are carried out on test specimens of mortar (40x40x160 mm3). The compressive strength and
chemical characteristic allowed us to estimate and to compare the mechanical characteristics and the pozzolanic activity ratio
of both used ashes. The pozzolanic activity ratio of both types of cow dung ash is estimated to 75% and 68% in 28 days. The
mechanical characteristics of the mortars containing some cow dung ash produced in laboratory are superior for the greater
part to those of the mortars containing some cow dung ash produced traditionally. On the other hand, the medium-term (56 and
90 days) mechanical characteristics of the mortars containing until 15 % of cow dung ash produced in laboratory are
equivalent to those of reference mortar. |
