Utilization of olive and pumice stones to improve the thermal properties of cement mortar
Mais A. Abdulkarem1, Dalia Adil Rasool2, Baydaa Jaber Nabhan3.
One of the main goals of sustainable solid waste management is recycling the waste as
modified materials. This study aims to investigate the effect of using mixed waste
materials (olive and pumice stones) on the properties of cement mortar. Different
proportions of olive and pumice stones (i.e., between 10% and 30%) were added to
replace the fine aggregates of cement mortar partially. In addition, a superplasticizer
was used to increase the compressive strength and workability of cement mortar. The
compressive strength, thermal conductance, density, and water absorption for each
proportion of the mortar mixtures before and after the treatment of olive and pumice
stones were measured. Results show that compared with normal mortar, the cement
mortar mixed with 30% olive and pumice stones remarkably improved in terms of
thermal insulation and compressive strength.
