The Filler Effect on Compressive Strength of Sulfur Concrete
Journal: Architecture Engineering and Science DOI: 10.32629/aes.v2i1.315
Abstract
The sulfur concrete samples were prepared by the optimized process, which were mixed with cement, fly ash and slag, respectively. The influence of the type and content of filler on the compressive strength of sulfur concrete was studied. The phase and micromorphology of filler and sulfur mixture were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope, and the bonding mode was studied. The results show: the cement filler has the best effect on the compressive performance of sulfur concrete,and the compressive strength is 87.2 MPa by adding cement filler with the same quality as sulfur; there is no chemical reaction between filler and sulfur, and the filler is physically bonded to sulfur matrix.
