Abstract
The aim of this experimental work is to analyze the effect of mineral additions fineness on the hydration of self-compacting mortars, as well as their behavior in the fresh and hardened states. To do this, cement was partially replaced with a fixed rate of 20% for natural pozzolan and 30% for slag. The additions were ground to three different fineness. The results showed that the use of slag is favourable to the formulation of self-compacting mortars, the workability has been considerably improved, the increase in its fineness, meanwhile, reduces the dosage of superplasticizer up to 46%. For the pozzolan, on the other hand, not only was the workability reduced, but the increase in fineness implies an additional demand for superplasticizer up to 16%. Mortars based on additions release less heat, nevertheless, this reduction is accompanied by a drop in compressive strength at a young age. However, the increase in fineness lets to accelerate the initial hydration, inducing additional strength, and to generate heat comparable to that of the reference mortar. Nonetheless, in the case of excessive grinding, the heat release must be taken into account in order to avoid the thermal cracking.
