STUDY ON THE CURING METHOD OF HIGH BENDING STRENGTH MORTAR AND ON ITS HYDRAULIC COMPOSITION

Abstract

This paper is intended to study the new method to develop high bending strength of cement paste or mortar. Up to date, the hydraulic cement product is said to have low bending strength not withstanding its high compressive strength. This paper clarified the new method to gain high bending strength of cement mortar which was mixed with silica-fume and was cured in 60℃ moisture. In this paper, these curing methods are studied in detail and the composition of the hydraulic cement product is studied in order to make clear of the reason of their high bending strength.
