It is always an expectation that to
minimize of damage caused by abrasion as a result of increase of abrasion
resistance of construction materials. Therefore, the influence of analcime on
the abrasion resistance of cement mortars was investigated in this study.
Analcime is a natural pozzolan and is one of the valuable minerals of zeolite
group. The cement mortars were produced by using blended cements containing
analcime. The abrasion losses by friction at the end of 28 days of the mortar
mixtures were determined by Bohme surface abrasion tests in accordance with TS
2824 EN 1338. The abrasion tests were carried out to cement mortar mixtures
produced with different cement replacement ratio (0%, 10%, 30% and 50%). The
results obtained from test series were compared with each other. The test
results showed that, abrasion losses of mortars containing analcime were lower
than portland cement mortars as 25% approximately. It is believed that this
positive effect of natural zeolite in the development of abrasion resistance is
due to pozzolanic reactions.
