As natural resources are rapidly depleting and the demand of cement based products in construction industry is continuously increasing, there is a pressing need for finding alternatives without large penalties in terms of mechanical properties. Another issue to be resolved is related to current design guidelines developed for traditional cement based materials (e.g. mortar and concrete). Zeolites, either natural or synthetic, are crystalline alumina silicates with pozzolanic activity in cement based materials that lead to obtaining mortars and concrete with improved elastic, mechanical and durability properties. They represent a viable alternative to river or quarry aggregates. The paper focuses on assessing the early age mechanical properties of cement based mortar with natural zeolites aggregates that were used to replace river sand in different percentages: 10, 20 and 30 percent by mass. A mortar mix, without zeolite aggregates, was also considered and served as reference. Standard 40?40?160 mm mortar prisms were cast and then cured in water for 14 days. The samples were measured and weighed in order to determine the density of the mortar mixes. The damping material properties were determined based on ASTM C215 code. Flexural and compressive strength were determined in accordance to SR EN 196-1 specifications.
