Properties of prefabricated building materials produced from ground pumice aggregate and binders

In this study, samples obtained from ground pumice aggregate (GPA) mixed with cement, gypsum and lime were produced by using a pressure forming (PF) processes and steam-curing. The compressive strength, density and water absorption properties of the samples were determined. Building materials produc...

Description
Summary:In this study, samples obtained from ground pumice aggregate (GPA) mixed with cement, gypsum and lime were produced by using a pressure forming (PF) processes and steam-curing. The compressive strength, density and water absorption properties of the samples were determined. Building materials produced from addition of low-rate cement, gypsum and lime to GPA using the pressure method had generally better physical and mechanical properties as compared to traditional building materials.
