Abstract: |
The paper reports the effect of the synthetic zeolite admixture on the viscosity of cement paste. Materials include Portland cement CEM I 42.5 R, synthetic zeolite obtained through low-temperature synthesis under laboratory conditions, polycarboxylate ester based supeplasticizer Muraplast FK 63.30 and tap water. Three compositions of cement paste were made adding 0%, 5%, and 10 wt% of synthetic zeolite. A rotating cylinder viscometer was used for measuring the consistence of the paste; viscosity was measured employing vibrational viscometer SV–10. The consistency test on cement paste showed that spread with no addition of synthetic zeolite made 149 mm, containing 5% of synthetic zeolite the slump was 85 mm and containing 10% of synthetic zeolite spread was 70 mm. The viscosity test also indicated that for the period of 30 minutes, changes in the viscosity of cement paste were as follows: 81.11 mPa s with no addition of synthetic zeolite, 746.5 mPa s containing 5% of synthetic zeolite and 827.1 mPa s containing 10% of synthetic zeolite. Data on the viscosity of cement paste were statistically processed applying software Statistica. Dispersion diagrams demonstrate changes in the viscosity of cement paste adding from 0 to 10 wt% of synthetic zeolite. Taking into account synthetic zeolite, the following correlation coefficients were calculated: 0% – 0.938, 5% – 0.967, 10% – 0.988. The coefficients of determination made 0% – 0,880, 5% – 0,935, 10% – 0,976. Equations for a dependent variable were produced by regression analysis. |
