In this study, fly ash is used as a replacement for cement in mortar to find its impact on durability indicators and the environment regarding greenhouse gas (GHG} emissions. This study focuses on GHG emissions from the construction materials, strength, and capillary transport of water which is a function of the w/cm ratio, pore size distribution, and curing period. The capillary sorption process showed a very complex time-dependent relationship. The sorptivity and absorption of mortar were found at different w/cm ratios and fly ash replacement. Fly ash replacement showed a negative impact on compressive strength as well as on water absorption due to its similar particle size compared to cement. The secondary absorption rate was lower than ~59 % to 88% compared to the initial absorption rate for all the mixtures. 35 % replacement of cement with fly ash resulted in a ~27% reduction of GHG emissions compared to control mortar mixtures. |
