Strength Performance of Different Mortars Doped Using Olive Stones as Lightweight Aggregate

The amount of ground olive stone available in Spain surpasses the needs construction industry for lightweight aggregate. objective herein is to generate a material, mortar, with different percentages stone, and then evaluate mechanical performance viability these materials manufacture elements used sector. To this end, an experiment was designed nine dosages three types cement. In all, 378 test pieces were produced assess its handling while fresh, performance. Based on analysis consistency, density, compressive strength, flexural we able determine how much can be successfully incorporated into material: 30% achieved decrease density 15% compared mortar without stone. strength studied remained above 70% that Bending behavior more severely compromised, values being around 50%. Cements robust proved capable assimilating higher percentage This study shows technical produced.
