Abstract
Mechanical Properties of Cement Mortar Made with Black Tea Waste Ash as a Partial Replacement of Cement
Highlights
The presence of waste materials is harmful to the environment, so, the inclusion of these materials in building products, roads and other infrastructure is useful in reducing the quantities of disposed of materials in the landfills and in reducing the impact of these substances on the environment [1]
Environmental pollution and the relatively high cost of waste disposal has been a major focus for scientists around the world, leading researchers to find a solution to reuse the waste materials in different applications
This study aims to explore the effect of the ash produced from burning the black tea waste in a controlled oven on the mechanical properties of cement mortar
Summary
The presence of waste materials is harmful to the environment, so, the inclusion of these materials in building products, roads and other infrastructure is useful in reducing the quantities of disposed of materials in the landfills and in reducing the impact of these substances on the environment [1]. Landfills are considered one of the biggest crisis facing the Iraqi government It is considered environmentally and economically beneficial to use these wastes as an alternative to cement in the construction industry. Demirbas and Aslan [5] studied the effect of ground wood, hazelnut shell, spruce and black tea waste (supplied from a certain factory in Turkey) on the compressive and bending strength of cement. These materials were used as a cement replacement in the percentages 2%, 5%, 7.5% and 10%. The effect of the black tea waste ash on the flow of the fresh mortar was investigated
