Abstract
The present study has focused on altering the properties of its composites to achieve robustness in concrete with high speed of construction. The different types of chemical admixtures are used to produce mortar/concrete with an accelerated setting time and early-age strength. Stone waste can be converted into mortar and concrete as an alternative to cementitious materials to overcome their ill effects, resulting production of sustainable end products. The present study investigated the influence of the stone slurry powder, calcium nitrate, and triethanolamine at various proportions in the different mortar mixes. The viability of using the additional materials in cement mortar based on strength, cost and environmental aspects was also investigated. The results demonstrated that incorporation of stone slurry powder in mortar enhanced the strength by 6–17%, which may be due to its pore filling ability. The cost of mortar construction also declined by 7% due to its free availability. The cost index and carbon emission index of mortar mix containing stone waste declined by 24% and 26%, respectively, compared to other mixes, due to reduced cement content.
