Abstract

This study delves into the incorporation of incinerated biomedical waste ash (IBA) into mortar, focusing on its effects on compressive strength and microstructure. The research examines the impact of partial cement replacement with IBA at different ratios and water-to-binder (w/b) ratios, with compressive strength tests conducted at various curing ages. Key findings include the optimal replacement level of 7.5% IBA for maximum compressive strength and the significant role of Wollastonite in enhancing early-age strength. The study also explores the microstructural changes, revealing that leaner mixes and higher IBA content increase microcracks and micropores. Predictive models, including Vipulanandan’s p-q model, are developed to estimate compressive strength, with the Vipulanandan model showing the best fit. The research concludes that IBA can be effectively valorized in cement mortar, offering a sustainable solution without significantly compromising mechanical properties.
