Original Abstract

The paper is focused on the mechanical fracture properties of hardened cement mortars in which Portland cement is partially replaced by reactive admixtures. These properties are evaluated in relation to the mortars’ microstructure through the size and content of pores. The cement in the mortars was partially replaced by a diatomite that contains amorphous SiO2. The three-point bending fracture tests were performed on beams with a central edge notch. The investigated mechanical fracture properties of the aforementioned cement-based composites included flexural strength, compressive strength, elasticity modulus, effective fracture toughness and specific fracture energy.
