Abstract

This project deals with the strength and thermal analysis of cement mortar containing perlite and metakaolin (MK). Generally mortar is a workable paste used to bind building blocks together (stone, bricks and concrete masontry units) mortar is a mixture of sand, a binder such as cement or lime and water. Mortar fill and seal the irregular gaps between the building blocks. Also, scientists are involved in finding new alternatives for cement that cement can be used effectively and also reduce the unit weight. during cement manufacturing the large volumes of co2 emitted. In this paper study was conducted on perlite and metakaolin as a replacement for cement. Perlite is come from glassy volcanic rocks, is a low density material, metakaolin is the most effective pozzolanic material is increase the binding property. The percentage of replacements were adopted for 5%,10%,15%,20%,25%. The specimens were casted and cured for 7 and 28 days. After this process the specimens were subjected to compressive strength, split tensile strength, durability tests and also carried the thermal analysis. Finally the above test results were compared with normal mix mortars.
