The paper is focused on the mechanical fracture properties of hardened cement mortars in which Portland cement is partially replaced by reactive admixtures. These properties are evaluated in relation to the mortars' microstructure through the size and content of pores. The cement in the mortars was partially replaced by a diatomite that contains amorphous SiO2.

The paper presents the studies on the mechanical properties of cement mortar reinforced with the 0.03 wt.% of graphene oxide (dosage by weight of cement). Graphene oxide proved to accelerate the cement hydration, in particular at the early stages of mortar hardening, hence improving the mortar performance during mechanical tests.

Each specimen mixed with PVA fibers showed strain-hardening behavior due to multi-microcracks, and all the specimens showed a high tensile strain of over 2.0 %. Such a result can be explained by the stress performance index, which is the ratio of the initial crack stress to the tensile stress.

Cement mortar with fly ash usually has retardation of hydration and delay of setting time due to the presence of SO −2 ions in the fly ash surface; with lower w/c, mortar usually has higher strength due to the presence of many cement hydrates [ 4 ]. Several studies have shown that the fly ash is effective for improving various properties of mortar.

The type and quantity of the binder considerably influence the mechanical behavior and cost of CPB. Typically, ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is the most widely used cementitious material in CPB as it augments desirable mechanical behaviors. OPC, when used as the sole binder, is responsible for more than 70% of the total cost of CPB.
