Abstract

Objectives: To study the influence of electromagnetic fields on the physico-mechanical properties of the mortar (resistance to compression and bending).

Methods/analysis: In the current research, the influence of the electromagnetic field in the mortar was studied experimentally by replacing the cement with 10% bottom ash provided from a thermal power plant and formulates a mortar with high resistance to compression and bending. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were further performed to confirm the obtained results.

Findings: Based on the above results, it was found that the use of magnetized water offered better microstructure and mechanical resistance to compression and bending, for both normal mortar and mortar containing 10% of bottom ash from thermal power plants. The majority of previous publications were produced on normal mortars based on cement and ordinary water, while this study was carried out on mortars with magnetized water and bottom ash.

Novelty /improvement: A new method was proposed for the formulation of an eco-mortar based on bottom ash obtained from thermal power plant and magnetized water. Water mortar magnetizes with bottom ash to provide several uses in the field of civil engineering which includes better recovery of industrial waste, an efficient material, and a reduction in the use of cement in the mortar.
