Özet

In the study, blast-furnace slag was used instead of crushed tile and tile powder as aggregate at various proportions. Slaked lime was used as a binder in the mortars. The physical and mechanical tests were conducted on Khorasan mortars to investigate pozzolanic activity. Based on the results, the mortars were non-hydraulic owing to the low pozzolanic activity of crushed tile and tile powder. However, notable improvements were observed on physical and mechanical properties of specimens containing blast-furnace slag compared to the control specimens.
