Comparison of the impact of diatomite, perlite and zeolite on the thermal and structural behavior of the mortar

Sumario:In this article, the characteristics of a pozzolanic mortar were studied, which was generated by substituting a percentage of the volume of the sand in the mixture for a similar one of diatomite, perlite or zeolite. This was done with the aim of defining, through laboratory tests, the changes generated by this modification in the material's thermal conduction coefficient, as well as its resistance to compression. All this was done because, although natural pozzolans have been previously studied as an option to create ecological concretes or lightened architectural elements, it has not been clearly established what is the contribution that these can generate in the thermal part towards cementitious pastes. Finally, the experimental validation showed that zeolite was the mineral with which the mortar samples were generated with the best relationship between the improvement of the thermal conduction coefficient of the material with respect to a minimal reduction in its mechanical resistance.
