Abstract - Pozzolans and supplementary cementitious
materials (SCMs), either natural or artificial, are oftenusedas
an enhancer material replacement for cement with different
percentages in concrete. Due to cost reasons, effective
alternative and innovative green material must be used.
Silicon dioxide in zeolite is expected to increase compressive
strength of concrete through reaction with the calcium
hydroxide at the hydration process of cement. This present
study provides a comprehensive laboratory investigation of
the effects of incorporation of zeolite (untreatedandcalcined)
as a pozzolan at different levels of substitutions of Portland
cement (from 0 to 40% by weight of cementitious materials
content) on the properties of fresh and hardened concreteand
on concrete durability (e.g., absorption and elevated
temperatures). Fresh concrete properties(e.g.,workabilityand
unit weight) were apparently affected byzeoliteincorporation
the main effect, however, was in significant reduction in
workability, especially at percentages greater than 10% level,
which are required adding of mid-rangeandhigh-rangewater
reducing admixtures in concrete mixture, also a noticeable
reduction in the unit weight of concrete, therefore, calcined
zeolite is the suitable raw material to produce light weight
concrete. Compared to the control mixture, zeolite-blended
concrete mixtures (untreated and calcined) showed an
improvement in compressive strength at 10% cement
replacement level at (7, 28 and 56 days), where as 25 to 40%
replacements caused a modest reduction in strength at the
same ages. Pozzolanic action enhances the strength at lately
ages more than early ages. Pozzolanic action of zeolite
improved the compressive strength of concrete.

1. INTRODUCTION
Concrete belongs to the most frequently used
materials in the civil engineering industry for many years.
It's have an energetically consumption component like
cement. Production of cement is not only energy intensive
but it also, presents one of the important CO2 emission
sources in the world. Due to safe environmental condition, a
lot of attempts were took place to use different
supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), which can
replace at least a part of cement in concrete by more
environmental friendly materials [1]. Natural pozzolan give
a solution of cement replacement in concrete in case of
availability near to the cement production field.Aftermining
they do not need any special treatment except for grinding
which is their main advantage. There are three main
categories of natural pozzolan, namely the materials of
volcanic origin, sedimentary origin and mixedorigin(hybrid
rocks). Zeolite, asprobably the most oftenusednaturalSCM,
belong to the volcanic pozzolan [2].
Clinoptilolite is one of zeolite contents, an
aluminosilicate with micro porous framework structure,
Concerning illustration the fundamental intensify. The
structure of clinoptilolite is based on a three dimensional
skeleton made of silicon tetrahedrons unified by oxygen
atoms with a part of silicon atoms replaced by aluminum
atoms. Zeolite contains silicon oxide with almost 70% and
there is usually almost 12% of aluminum oxide. In civil
engineering (construction), their usage as pozzolan dates
back to ancient timeswhen the mixture of zeolite containing
lime and tuff were used as hydraulic binder. Recently, in
building construction, zeolite are used mostly as concrete
additives [3].
Mechanical properties of zeolite concrete were
investigated in many studies as well. Chan and Ji [4] noted
that, concrete with 10% Portland cement replacement with
zeolite gave compressive strength after 28 days within a
range of 58–116 MPa, depending on the water to
cementitious material ratio. Najimi et al. [5] conduct that,
incorporation of 15%zeolite in theblendedbinderimproved
compressivestrength of concrete but for concrete with30%
zeolite content they obtained a 25% strengthreductioneven
with adding a superplasticizers which was not used in the
control mixture. Ahmadi and Shekarchi [6] observed that,
an increase in compressive strength of concrete for up to
20%of zeolite used as Portland cement replacementbutthis
wasachieved with an increasing amountofsuperplasticizers
in the mixtures containing zeolite. Uzal and Turanlı [7]
reported similar compressive strength of mortar with 55%
zeolite in the binder to that of 100%Portland cementmortar
but once again, this could only be achieved using
superplasticizers. Karakurt and Topcu [8] found 30%
replacement of Portland cement by zeolite in their blended
cement mortars recorded the optimum; the compressive
strength was similar to the control mortar. Valipour et al.
[9] observed a fast decrease in the compressive strength of
concrete with the increasing amount of zeolite (10–30% of
the weight of Portland cement) in the mixture, even with an
increasing superplasticizers dosage.

Hence, the present study providesa comprehensive
laboratory investigation of the effects of incorporation of
zeolite (untreated and calcined) as a pozzolan at various
levelsof substitutions of Portland cement (from0 to 40%by
weight of total cementitious materials) on the properties of
fresh and hardened concrete and on concretedurability(e.g.,
elevated temperatures).
2. UESED MATERIALSANDMIXTUREPROPORTIONS
The used cement was Ordinary Portland Cement
type CEM I – 42.5N complies with the Egyptian Standard
(ES: 4756-1/2009) [10]. The chemical analysis as well as
the physical propertiesof the used cement asdeterminedby
laboratory tests (as per E.S.S No.2421/2005)[11],showed
its suitability for concrete work. The properties of used
cement in this study are shown in Table -1. Zeolite were
delivered in 25-kg package with particle size 50μm and
Table -2 shows chemical composition of it. Crushed stone
from natural sources with a nominal maximum size of 12
mm is used in the experimental work. The properties of
crushed stone are complying with E.S.S No. 1109/2002
[12]. The physical propertiesare presented inTable-3.Fine
aggregate used in this work is natural siliceous sand. The
sand is clean free from impurities. Testing of fine aggregate
(sand) was carried out according to the Egyptian standard
specifications E.S.S No. 1109/2002 [12]. The physical
properties of the sand are shown in Tables -4. Clean tap
drinking water is used in this work. It is clean and free from
impurities. The stated materialswere used asthe basic solid
ingredients in all concrete mixtures.
Seventeen different concrete mixtures were
prepared divided into two groups, the first group
(untreated) incorporating 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40%
zeolite by weight of total cementitious materials (as a
replacement), the second group (calcined) also,
incorporating 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40% zeolite by
weight of total cementitious materials (as a replacement),
where the zeolite used in this group was calcined at
temperature (500˚C) for 2 hours, in additional to control
mixture as presented in Table -5. All mixtures were
prepared by using a fixed total cementitious materials
content of 350 kg/m3, a water cementitious materials ratio
(w/c) of 0.5, also, a high range water reducer and set
retarding admixture of modified synthetic dispersion basis
(complies with ASTM C 494 Type G and BS 5075 Part 3)
[13] were used in the designed concrete mixture for
reducing the amount of the mixing water. Incorporation of
zeolite makes concrete unworkable and sticky due to loss of
mixing water (because it's have a very high surface area
"open crystal structure" and will appear significantly in
microstructure study), which requiredadditionofhighrange
water reducer to maintain the optimum slump at a given
w/c. The quantities of coarse aggregate and fine aggregate
are 1260 kg/m3, 635 kg/m3, respectively. Constant amount
of admixture was also added with (2% of cement).

3.2.2.1 UNIT WEIGHT
Table -7, presented the unit weight values for all
mixtures, it can be seem that, the calcined mixtures shows
lower unit weight comparing with the untreated mixtures,
this may attributed to zeolite is a porous silicoaluminate
mineral. It has generally a very large surface area greater
than 20 m2/g. It's solid surface can be activated to have high
surface energy after calcinations attemperaturegreaterthan
400°C. When zeolite immersed in water, the surface
generates a large amount of bubblesin addition to a amount
of heat due to adsorption process. The generated heat
increasesthe temperature of the bubbles in poresorstickon
the surface of zeolite particles. The expansion of the bubbles
volume lead to foaming and volume expansion of fresh
concrete during the mixing and pre-storage periods [14].
Based on the listed results it is conduct that, the usage of
zeolite is suitable for production of lightweight concrete.

3.2.2.2 COMPREWSSIVE STRENGTH
Table -8 and Figures -2 and -3, provide results of
compressive strength testsand rateofstrengthdevelopment
in different concrete mixtures. For untreated concrete
mixtures, zeolite incorporation at 10 % level showed 7, 28
and 56 days high compressive strengths nearly about 26%
comparable to the control mixture. Therefore, at 10 %
cement replacement of zeolite incorporation showed a
significant enhancement in compressivestrengthofconcrete
in compared to the control mixture. While the compressive
strengths for calcined concrete mixture at different ages (7,
28 and 56 days decreased comparable to thecontrolmixture
by (3.7, 8.4 and 12.4%) respectively, but at this level of
incorporation it showed a higher increase in compressive
strength comparing with other levels of incorporation.
At higher levels of zeolite incorporations (e.g., from
25 to 40%), however, compressive strengthsshow amodest
reduction ranged from 4 to 16% (untreated) and 34.7 to
47.3%(calcined) respectively from the controlmixtureat28
and 56 days. It is apparent that the great reduction in
strength of calcined concrete mixturesare attributed to that
zeolite is a porous silicoaluminate mineral. Ithasaverylarge
surface area generally greater than 20 m2/g. Its solidsurface
can be activated to have high surface energy after
calcinations at temperature greater than 400°C. When
zeolite immersed in water, the surface generates a large
amount of bubbles and a amount of heat due to adsorption.
This heat increases the temperature of the bubbles in pores
or stick on the surface of zeolite particles. The expansion of
the bubbles volume results in foaming and volume
expansion of fresh concrete during the mixing and pre-
storage periods. On the other hand, zeolite can react with
calcareous materials to form calcium silicoaluminate
hydrates which contribute to the strength of the concrete,so
that, zeolite is suitable material to use as a suitable raw
material to produce light weight concrete by foaming
function [14].
Other literature studies on mechanical properties
like compressive strengths of zeolite blended Portland
cement concrete showed strengthenhancement,comparable
strength, and modest reductions comparedtothestrengthof
control mixture. Such variations in strength results are due
to the differences in chemical composition, fineness,
reactivity, and the percentage of zeolite levelsintheblended
cement.

percentage of zeolite incorporation ranged from(0 to 40%),

respectively, while it was ranged from (22 to 28.5%) at
600˚C for percentages of zeolite incorporation ranged from
(0 to 40%), respectively.
For calcined concrete mixtures, the compressive
strength of concrete mixtures showed a reduction ranged
from (8.2 to 14%) at 300˚C at percentage of zeolite
incorporation ranged from (0 to 40%), respectively, while it
was ranged from (13.8 to 23.2%) at 600˚C at percentage of
zeolite incorporation ranged from (0to40%),respectively.It
is apparent that the use of calcined zeolite decrease the rate
of reduction of compressive strength which attributed to
heat treatment of zeolite which activate the surfaceofzeolite
and result in high surface energy. Heat treated zeolite
release large amountsof bubbles from their surface afterre-
wetting as water is re-adsorbed on the zeolite surface. Heat
generation during bubblesdesorption and wateradsorption
increases bubbles formation in the mixture. Heat treated
zeolite can be use as an air-generation agents or as a
pozzolanic binding materials to produce lightweight
concrete [14].

3.2.2.4 ABSORPTION
Table -10 and Figure -6 provide results of percentage of
absorption test of different concrete mixturesat28days.For
untreated concrete mixtures, the percentage of absorption
was decreased as the percentage of zeolite incorporation
increased from (0 to 40%) ranged from (1.02 to 0.313%)
respectively, and these results agree with other
investigators. Chan and Ji [4] found water initial surface
absorption decreasing up to 15% cement replacement level
and increasing above that limit. Najimi et al. [5] reported a
decrease in water penetration depth up to 30% of zeolite
content in the blended binder. While for calcined concrete
mixtures, the percentage of absorption wasincreased asthe
percentage of zeolite incorporation increased from (0 to
40%) ranged from (1.02 to 1.724%), respectively and this
may attributed to the calcinations of zeolite at high
temperature (500˚C) before used in the concrete mixtures,
This heat increasing the temperature of the bubblesinpores
or adsorbed on the surface of zeolite particles. The
expansion of the bubbles volume results in foaming and
volume expansion of fresh concrete during the mixing, and
subsequently increase the ability of concretetoabsorbwater
in the hardened state.

3.2.2.5 MICROSTRUCTURE
Figure -(7a) shows, the scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) slide of the ordinary Portland cement
concrete without Zeolite. It hasindependently formed aC-S-
H gel, mutually linked needle-shaped hydrates (ettringite),
and many Ca(OH)2 crystals, showing a sparse internal
structure with non-crystal hydrates. Figure -(7b)
Incorporation of zeolite (untreated) causes the following
important micro structural modifications, which are
responsible for the overall improved durability of concrete:
(a) by the pozzolanic reaction, a decrease in calcium
hydroxide component of Portland cement hydration in the
cement paste, (b) concretion of the cement paste
microstructure by combined pore size and grainsize
refinements, which cause an increased volume of very fine
poresat the expense of the large pores, and(c)improvement
of aggregate paste interfacial zone by a combination of filler
effectsand pozzolanic reaction effects. Zeolitecanbeutilized
not only as a pozzolan but also as a micro filler in the
concrete for the overall densification of micro structure.
Figure -(7c) shows the presence of small pores on the
surface of the specimen due to the incorporation of calcined
zeolite as heat treatment of zeolite will activate the surface
of zeolite and result in high surface energy. Where heat-
treated zeolite release large amounts of bubbles from their
surface.

4. CONCLUSIONS
In summary, based on the present study and others,
zeolite incorporation may show a modest strengthbenefitor
a reduction compared to that in a non-zeolite control
mixture. The results can be conducted as follow:
1. Incorporation of zeolite in concrete mixtures up to
40 % by weight of the show a significant reduction
in workability of the fresh mixture (due to the high
surface area of zeolite) requiring addition of both
high-range water reducers.
2. Based on unit weight results the calcined mixtures
shows lower unit weight comparing with the
untreated mixture, which recommended the
application of zeolite as a major component in
production of lightweight concrete products.
3. Compared to the control mixture, zeolite blended
mixtures (untreated)shows an improvement in
compressive strength of concrete at 10% cement
replacement level by 26%, whereas 25 to 40%
replacements have caused a modest reduction in

strength at the same age ranged from 4 to 16%

respectively at 28 and 56 days.

decrease the rate of reduction of compressive
strength.

absorption was decreased as the percentage of
zeolite incorporation increased, while for calcined
concrete mixtures, the percentage of absorption
was increased as the percentage of zeolite
incorporation increased.

  • 1. International Research Journal of Engineering and Technology (IRJET) e-ISSN: 2395-0056 Volume: 04 Issue: 12 | Dec-2017 www.irjet.net p-ISSN: 2395-0072 © 2017, IRJET | Impact Factor value: 6.171 | ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal | Page 1619 Performance of Concrete Containing Zeolite As a Supplementary Cementitious Material Esraa Emam1, Sameh Yehia2 1Associate Professor, Building Materials Research and Quality Control Institute, Housing and Building National Research Center 2Assistant Professor, Higher Institute of Engineering, El-Shorouk Academy, Cairo, Egypt ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract - Pozzolans and supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), either natural or artificial, are oftenusedas an enhancer material replacement for cement with different percentages in concrete. Due to cost reasons, effective alternative and innovative green material must be used. Silicon dioxide in zeolite is expected to increase compressive strength of concrete through reaction with the calcium hydroxide at the hydration process of cement. This present study provides a comprehensive laboratory investigation of the effects of incorporation of zeolite (untreatedandcalcined) as a pozzolan at different levels of substitutions of Portland cement (from 0 to 40% by weight of cementitious materials content) on the properties of fresh and hardened concreteand on concrete durability (e.g., absorption and elevated temperatures). Fresh concrete properties(e.g.,workabilityand unit weight) were apparently affected byzeoliteincorporation the main effect, however, was in significant reduction in workability, especially at percentages greater than 10% level, which are required adding of mid-rangeandhigh-rangewater reducing admixtures in concrete mixture, also a noticeable reduction in the unit weight of concrete, therefore, calcined zeolite is the suitable raw material to produce light weight concrete. Compared to the control mixture, zeolite-blended concrete mixtures (untreated and calcined) showed an improvement in compressive strength at 10% cement replacement level at (7, 28 and 56 days), where as 25 to 40% replacements caused a modest reduction in strength at the same ages. Pozzolanic action enhances the strength at lately ages more than early ages. Pozzolanic action of zeolite improved the compressive strength of concrete. Key Words: Supplementary CementitiousMaterials(SCMs), Zeolite, and Physical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete. 1. INTRODUCTION Concrete belongs to the most frequently used materials in the civil engineering industry for many years. It's have an energetically consumption component like cement. Production of cement is not only energy intensive but it also, presents one of the important CO2 emission sources in the world. Due to safe environmental condition, a lot of attempts were took place to use different supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), which can replace at least a part of cement in concrete by more environmental friendly materials [1]. Natural pozzolan give a solution of cement replacement in concrete in case of availability near to the cement production field.Aftermining they do not need any special treatment except for grinding which is their main advantage. There are three main categories of natural pozzolan, namely the materials of volcanic origin, sedimentary origin and mixedorigin(hybrid rocks). Zeolite, asprobably the most oftenusednaturalSCM, belong to the volcanic pozzolan [2]. Clinoptilolite is one of zeolite contents, an aluminosilicate with micro porous framework structure, Concerning illustration the fundamental intensify. The structure of clinoptilolite is based on a three dimensional skeleton made of silicon tetrahedrons unified by oxygen atoms with a part of silicon atoms replaced by aluminum atoms. Zeolite contains silicon oxide with almost 70% and there is usually almost 12% of aluminum oxide. In civil engineering (construction), their usage as pozzolan dates back to ancient timeswhen the mixture of zeolite containing lime and tuff were used as hydraulic binder. Recently, in building construction, zeolite are used mostly as concrete additives [3]. Mechanical properties of zeolite concrete were investigated in many studies as well. Chan and Ji [4] noted that, concrete with 10% Portland cement replacement with zeolite gave compressive strength after 28 days within a range of 58–116 MPa, depending on the water to cementitious material ratio. Najimi et al. [5] conduct that, incorporation of 15%zeolite in theblendedbinderimproved compressivestrength of concrete but for concrete with30% zeolite content they obtained a 25% strengthreductioneven with adding a superplasticizers which was not used in the control mixture. Ahmadi and Shekarchi [6] observed that, an increase in compressive strength of concrete for up to 20%of zeolite used as Portland cement replacementbutthis wasachieved with an increasing amountofsuperplasticizers in the mixtures containing zeolite. Uzal and Turanlı [7] reported similar compressive strength of mortar with 55% zeolite in the binder to that of 100%Portland cementmortar but once again, this could only be achieved using superplasticizers. Karakurt and Topcu [8] found 30% replacement of Portland cement by zeolite in their blended cement mortars recorded the optimum; the compressive strength was similar to the control mortar. Valipour et al. [9] observed a fast decrease in the compressive strength of concrete with the increasing amount of zeolite (10–30% of the weight of Portland cement) in the mixture, even with an increasing superplasticizers dosage.

UESED MATERIALSANDMIXTUREPROPORTIONS The used cement was Ordinary Portland Cement type CEM I – 42.5N complies with the Egyptian Standard (ES: 4756-1/2009) [10]. The chemical analysis as well as the physical propertiesof the used cement asdeterminedby laboratory tests (as per E.S.S No.2421/2005)[11],showed its suitability for concrete work. The properties of used cement in this study are shown in Table -1. Zeolite were delivered in 25-kg package with particle size 50μm and Table -2 shows chemical composition of it. Crushed stone from natural sources with a nominal maximum size of 12 mm is used in the experimental work. The properties of crushed stone are complying with E.S.S No. 1109/2002 [12]. The physical propertiesare presented inTable-3.Fine aggregate used in this work is natural siliceous sand. The sand is clean free from impurities. Testing of fine aggregate (sand) was carried out according to the Egyptian standard specifications E.S.S No. 1109/2002 [12]. The physical properties of the sand are shown in Tables -4. Clean tap drinking water is used in this work. It is clean and free from impurities. The stated materialswere used asthe basic solid ingredients in all concrete mixtures. Seventeen different concrete mixtures were prepared divided into two groups, the first group (untreated) incorporating 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40% zeolite by weight of total cementitious materials (as a replacement), the second group (calcined) also, incorporating 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40% zeolite by weight of total cementitious materials (as a replacement), where the zeolite used in this group was calcined at temperature (500˚C) for 2 hours, in additional to control mixture as presented in Table -5. All mixtures were prepared by using a fixed total cementitious materials content of 350 kg/m3, a water cementitious materials ratio (w/c) of 0.5, also, a high range water reducer and set retarding admixture of modified synthetic dispersion basis (complies with ASTM C 494 Type G and BS 5075 Part 3) [13] were used in the designed concrete mixture for reducing the amount of the mixing water. Incorporation of zeolite makes concrete unworkable and sticky due to loss of mixing water (because it's have a very high surface area "open crystal structure" and will appear significantly in microstructure study), which requiredadditionofhighrange water reducer to maintain the optimum slump at a given w/c. The quantities of coarse aggregate and fine aggregate are 1260 kg/m3, 635 kg/m3, respectively. Constant amount of admixture was also added with (2% of cement).

Table -6, shows the slump test results for different mixtures. It is found that from Figure-1 a clear reduction in workability, which requiredadditionofa mid-range water reducer, asmentionedbefore,byincreasing the amount of zeolite in the mixture. By appropriatedosages of the high-range water reducer, slump valuesofallmixtures were kept within 50 to 120 mm for untreated mixtures, while the in the calcined mixtures ranged from 40 to 120mm.

It has generally a very large surface area greater than 20 m2/g. It's solid surface can be activated to have high surface energy after calcinations attemperaturegreaterthan 400°C. When zeolite immersed in water, the surface generates a large amount of bubblesin addition to a amount of heat due to adsorption process. The generated heat increasesthe temperature of the bubbles in poresorstickon the surface of zeolite particles. The expansion of the bubbles volume lead to foaming and volume expansion of fresh concrete during the mixing and pre-storage periods [14]. Based on the listed results it is conduct that, the usage of zeolite is suitable for production of lightweight concrete.

For untreated concrete mixtures, zeolite incorporation at 10 % level showed 7, 28 and 56 days high compressive strengths nearly about 26% comparable to the control mixture. Therefore, at 10 % cement replacement of zeolite incorporation showed a significant enhancement in compressivestrengthofconcrete in compared to the control mixture. While the compressive strengths for calcined concrete mixture at different ages (7, 28 and 56 days decreased comparable to thecontrolmixture by (3.7, 8.4 and 12.4%) respectively, but at this level of incorporation it showed a higher increase in compressive strength comparing with other levels of incorporation. At higher levels of zeolite incorporations (e.g., from 25 to 40%), however, compressive strengthsshow amodest reduction ranged from 4 to 16% (untreated) and 34.7 to 47.3%(calcined) respectively from the controlmixtureat28 and 56 days. It is apparent that the great reduction in strength of calcined concrete mixturesare attributed to that zeolite is a porous silicoaluminate mineral. Ithasaverylarge surface area generally greater than 20 m2/g. Its solidsurface can be activated to have high surface energy after calcinations at temperature greater than 400°C. When zeolite immersed in water, the surface generates a large amount of bubbles and a amount of heat due to adsorption. This heat increases the temperature of the bubbles in pores or stick on the surface of zeolite particles. The expansion of the bubbles volume results in foaming and volume expansion of fresh concrete during the mixing and pre- storage periods. On the other hand, zeolite can react with calcareous materials to form calcium silicoaluminate hydrates which contribute to the strength of the concrete,so that, zeolite is suitable material to use as a suitable raw material to produce light weight concrete by foaming function [14]. Other literature studies on mechanical properties like compressive strengths of zeolite blended Portland cement concrete showed strengthenhancement,comparable strength, and modest reductions comparedtothestrengthof control mixture. Such variations in strength results are due to the differences in chemical composition, fineness, reactivity, and the percentage of zeolite levelsintheblended cement.

For calcined concrete mixtures, the compressive strength of concrete mixtures showed a reduction ranged from (8.2 to 14%) at 300˚C at percentage of zeolite incorporation ranged from (0 to 40%), respectively, while it was ranged from (13.8 to 23.2%) at 600˚C at percentage of zeolite incorporation ranged from (0to40%),respectively.It is apparent that the use of calcined zeolite decrease the rate of reduction of compressive strength which attributed to heat treatment of zeolite which activate the surfaceofzeolite and result in high surface energy. Heat treated zeolite release large amountsof bubbles from their surface afterre- wetting as water is re-adsorbed on the zeolite surface. Heat generation during bubblesdesorption and wateradsorption increases bubbles formation in the mixture. Heat treated zeolite can be use as an air-generation agents or as a pozzolanic binding materials to produce lightweight concrete [14].

Chan and Ji [4] found water initial surface absorption decreasing up to 15% cement replacement level and increasing above that limit. Najimi et al. [5] reported a decrease in water penetration depth up to 30% of zeolite content in the blended binder. While for calcined concrete mixtures, the percentage of absorption wasincreased asthe percentage of zeolite incorporation increased from (0 to 40%) ranged from (1.02 to 1.724%), respectively and this may attributed to the calcinations of zeolite at high temperature (500˚C) before used in the concrete mixtures, This heat increasing the temperature of the bubblesinpores or adsorbed on the surface of zeolite particles. The expansion of the bubbles volume results in foaming and volume expansion of fresh concrete during the mixing, and subsequently increase the ability of concretetoabsorbwater in the hardened state.

It hasindependently formed aC-S- H gel, mutually linked needle-shaped hydrates (ettringite), and many Ca(OH)2 crystals, showing a sparse internal structure with non-crystal hydrates. Figure -(7b) Incorporation of zeolite (untreated) causes the following important micro structural modifications, which are responsible for the overall improved durability of concrete: (a) by the pozzolanic reaction, a decrease in calcium hydroxide component of Portland cement hydration in the cement paste, (b) concretion of the cement paste microstructure by combined pore size and grainsize refinements, which cause an increased volume of very fine poresat the expense of the large pores, and(c)improvement of aggregate paste interfacial zone by a combination of filler effectsand pozzolanic reaction effects. Zeolitecanbeutilized not only as a pozzolan but also as a micro filler in the concrete for the overall densification of micro structure. Figure -(7c) shows the presence of small pores on the surface of the specimen due to the incorporation of calcined zeolite as heat treatment of zeolite will activate the surface of zeolite and result in high surface energy. Where heat- treated zeolite release large amounts of bubbles from their surface.

CONCLUSIONS In summary, based on the present study and others, zeolite incorporation may show a modest strengthbenefitor a reduction compared to that in a non-zeolite control mixture. The results can be conducted as follow: 1. Incorporation of zeolite in concrete mixtures up to 40 % by weight of the show a significant reduction in workability of the fresh mixture (due to the high surface area of zeolite) requiring addition of both high-range water reducers. 2. Based on unit weight results the calcined mixtures shows lower unit weight comparing with the untreated mixture, which recommended the application of zeolite as a major component in production of lightweight concrete products. 3. Compared to the control mixture, zeolite blended mixtures (untreated)shows an improvement in compressive strength of concrete at 10% cement replacement level by 26%, whereas 25 to 40% replacements have caused a modest reduction in
