Properties of binary and ternary mixtures containing natural zeolite and silica fume

Production of cement as the main components of concrete is an energy consumption process with environmental pollutions. Application of cementitious materials is one of the major solutions for mitigation of subside the environmental problems and economics of concrete production leading to more durable concrete structures. This paper tries to assess the application of pozzolanic materials, namely micro silica and natural zeolite for this means. A two-phase experimental study conducted which at the first stage, an optimization process utilized to verify the proper blended binder system in binary and ternary terms. At the second phase the mechanical and durability aspects of the blended system experimentally investigated which propose the enhancements on the durability of concrete mixtures.
