Abstract Earth is suffering from global warming phenomena in which carbon dioxide plays a major role. Portland cement industry is one of the main sources of carbon dioxide emissions. The aim of this study is to minimize the production of carbon dioxide by reducing the Portland cement content -in production of cement based composites. Therefore, the influence of using different pozzolanic materials as partial replacement of the Portland cement was investigated. Fly Ash (FA) and Micro Silica fume (MS) were added - as pozzolanic materials - to Portland cement with different replacement ratios to form different blended cement batches. On the other hand, performance of ground granulated blast-furnace blended cement (CEM II/A-S) was also compared with that of Portland cement (CEM I). |
