Physical and Chemical Properties of Cement Mortar with Gamma-C2S

Clay as natural pozzolan is found in the north of the city of Sebha, Libya. Sebha clay is relatively high in silica, and its physical and chemical properties could be referred to as ASTM C618 class N. Sonication treatment is carried out and the treated Sebha clay is used as a mineral admixture in the Portland cement mortar. Horn method 20 kHz frequencies with different powers and different times are used in the Sonication treated. The particle size distributions (PSD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) imaging are used to understand the mechanism of pozzolanic improvement of the Sebha clay after treatment by sonication. This paper shows the physical and chemical properties of sonication treat Sebha clay. The effect of magnitude of sonic power on pozzolanic activity of treated kaolin is investigated. The main aim of the present research is to study the strength characteristics of cement mortar using Sebha natural clay after sonication is treated as a partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement OPC. The parameters are investigated, including compressive strengths .The results show enhancement in particle size and pozzolanic activity of treated kaolin, with increase in sonic power and in the time.

In connection with the spectrophotometric study of population-type characteristics of various kinds of stars, a statistical analysis of kinematical and distribution parameters of the same stars is performed at the Toruń Observatory. This has a twofold purpose: first, to provide a practical guide in selecting stars for observing programmes, second, to contribute to the understanding of relations existing between the physical and chemical properties of stars and their kinematics and distribution in the Galaxy.

Organic farming is one of the management strategies that improve productivity of marginal uplands. The study aimed to: (1) evaluate effects of various organic-based fertilizers on the growth and yield of corn; (2) determine the appropriate combination for optimum yield; and (3) assess changes on the soil physical and chemical properties. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design, with 3 replications and 7 treatments, namely; T0=(0-0-0); T1=1t ha-1 Evans + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T2=t ha-1 Wellgrow + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T3=15t ha-1 chicken dung; T4=10t ha-1 chicken dung + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T5=15t ha-1 Vermicast; and T6=10t ha-1 Vermicast + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1. Application of organic-based fertilizers with or without inorganic fertilizers promoted growth of corn than the control. But due to high infestation of corn silk beetle(Monolepta bifasciata Horns), its grain yield was greatly affected. In the second cropping, except for Evans, any of these fertilizers applied alone or combined with 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1 appeared appropriate in increasing corn earyield. Soil physical and chemical properties changed with addition of organic fertilizers. While bulk density decreased irrespective of treatments, pH, total N, available P and exchangeable K generally increased more with chicken dung application.
