Physical and Mechanical Properties of Sustainable Hydraulic Mortar Based on Marble Slurry with Waste Glass

This paper aims to propose and characterize a sustainable hydraulic mortar entirely obtained by the reuse of waste materials, with marble slurry coming from quarries in north-western Sicily glass powder collection plant Marsala (Province Trapani). The first was used as raw material produce binder kilning slaking process, while second pozzolanic additive. chemical morphological characterization done XRD, FTIR, STA SEM analyses. Glass analyzed through particle size distribution measurements, XRD standard tests. Hydraulic mortars constituted slaked lime kilned (LGS) were prepared beside commercial Natural Lime (NHL) based (NGS) air-hardening (LSS)-based mortars. Mechanical absorption properties investigated function grain means three-point bending compressive strength tests, capillary uptake, helium pycnometry simultaneous thermal analysis. results demonstrated that formulation LGS exhibits significantly improved mechanical compared (LSS). It confirms possibility producing more exclusively materials for civil engineering.
