Investigation of Compressive Strength of Plaster and Masonry MortarPrepared with Waste Stone Dust, Nano Carbon Black and Cement

Mortar and concrete produced by replacing the cement or aggregate in the traditional concrete

mixture or a certain

proportion thereof with natural or artificial mineral admixtures are

becoming increasingly common. With these admixtures, the properties of fresh and hardened

mortar are aimed to be improved. Wall and plaster mortars are expected to be as durable and

wate

rproof as bricks. Especially, the freezing

-

thawing resistance of exterior plaster materials

and flooring materials should be high. In addition, soil surfaces are susceptible to wind and

water erosion effects. It is known that such surfaces are covered with

abrasion resistant

plaster material in order to protect it against abrasion on soil surfaces. In this study, the

usability of the mixture obtained by incorporating waste materials, such as stone dust and

nano carbon black, with a certain amount of binder,

such as cement, as ready plaster, masonry

mortar or ground coating material are investigated. When soil surfaces under the effect of

wind and water erosion are covered with the mortar obtained with this fine powdered ready

-

made material, a

strength

agains

t erosion will be displayed. If the material meets the current

standards in terms of both tension and durability, it can be put on the market as a ready

-

made

plaster mixture in 20

-

40 kg bags in fine powder form. Currently, nano carbon black is

available on

the market in 20 kg paper bags. Stone dust is found in mining companies that

process mud or rock in dry form.
