Utilization of Co-Fired Blended Ash and Chopped Basalt Fiber in the Development of Sustainable Mortar

Excessive consumption of cement in construction materials has resulted a negative impact on the environment. This leads to need finding an alternative binder as sustainable material. Different wastes that are rich aluminosilicates have proved be valuable material for alkali-activated product development, which contains zero cement. Alkali-activated products claimed and cost-effective. In present study, reinforced masonry mortar was developed using locally available industrial waste (co-fired blended ash—CBA). Appropriate design is one key challenges connections between two structural elements play significant role building construction. The designed with suitable fiber reinforcement shall significantly help enhance fresh, mechanical, durability, dynamic properties. Chopped basalt fibers (CBFs) obtained from rock eco-efficient applied reinforcing study checked feasibility novel waste-co-fired ash (CBA) development mortar. view design, elaborated application chopped design. cubes were cast tested various properties varying percentages (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%). results suggest mortars able achieve higher compressive strength (10–18 MPa) flexural (3–3.5 MPa). Further, based mortar, prisms evaluated bond strengths (flexural shear) masonry. optimum found mix alkali activator solid ratio 0.40 0.5% CBF percentage. Application CBA efficient no
