Investigating the mechanical and fatigue properties of sustainable cement emulsified asphalt mortar

The results obtained reveal that utilizing low pozzolanic activity GGBFS showed no significant effect on uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and decreased the indirect tensile strength (IDT) slightly. Moreover, both UCS and IDT heightened through the inclusion of SF. As a result, the addition of SF would compensate for reduction in some mechanical properties caused by GGBFS with low pozzolanicity. Furthermore, based on the results, semi-circular bending (SCB) test properly differentiated the effects of cement replacement with GGBFS and SF on fatigue resistance of CEAM.
