Abstract:

Self compacting mortars have been used as repair mortar or to determine component rates of the self compacting concrete. In this study; self compacting lightweight mortars were produced with basaltic pumice and expanded perlite aggregate. Expanded perlite aggregate was used at rates 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% by volume instead of pumice aggregate and compared with reference specimens made fully pumice aggregate. Self compacting lightweight mortars were compared with self compacting mortar with river aggregate. Slump flow and V funnel were carried out for self compactibility all mixtures. Unit weight, apparent porosity, compressive and flexure strength of mortars were determined. As a result, all mortars in this study have ability self compactibility. The more the unit weight of mortars decreases, the more the compressive strength of mortars decrease.
