Rheological Properties of Cement Pastes Modified with Pumice, Trass and Chalcedonite Powder

The article presents the influence of pumice, trass and chalcedonite powder on rheological properties of cement pastes. Cement was being replaced both of additions 10% or 20% by mass and combination of pumice or trass and chalcedonite powder in the amount 5% or 10% of each of them. The main purpose of the publication was to assess the effects of chalcedonite powder with selected mineral additions in terms of rheological properties and compare them with the results obtained for pastes modified with only one of the additions. In each case, the additive or combination of additives introduced into the paste reduced the flow, compared to the result of paste without additive(s). Rheological properties varied depending on type and amount of additive(s).
