Abstract

Additives containing SiO2 (ACS) and having pozzolanic properties such as metakaolin (MK), microsilica (MS) and milled autoclaved aerated concrete waste (MAACW) are promising materials for partially replacement of Portlandcement (PC) in matrix of lightweight building materials. Studies have shown that SA effects on the hydration process of PC matrix. The highest wetting heat release rate values were obtained using MS additive, and the lowest a mix of MS and MK additives. In a mix with both MS and MK additives, the maximal value of heat release rate was reached after 10 h and in a mix with MS additive after 13 h. MS additive extends while MK additive accelerates the hydration process of PC. The most effective plasticizer (P) was chosen according to the study of dynamic viscosity (DV) of PC matrix. It was fixed that surfactant (SU) in amount of 0.03 % (from PC) reduces the density of matrix about 30 % compared with the density of matrix without SU. Increased quantity of MAACW (from 5 to 15 % from PC) causes in increase of compressive strength of PC matrix (after 28 days curing) from 19 to 47 MPa.
