Özet

Exposure of individuals to electromagnetic fields in a wide area of daily life necessitated making spaces-structures healthier against electromagnetic fields. In this study, waste copper slag and carbon fibers were added to the cement mortar in different proportions with substitutes and additives. Physical, mechanical, electromagnetic shielding and microstructure studies were carried out on the produced composite mortars at different ages. It was determined that the mechanical strengths of composite mortars were superior to those of reference mortar samples. It was observed that electromagnetic shielding effectiveness was more positive with copper slag and especially carbon fiber additions. The highest electromagnetic shielding values were obtained in mortars containing 50% copper slag and 0.5% carbon fiber. Additionally, it was determined that copper slag, stored as an environmental waste, could be suitable for use in cementitious mortar systems. These composites offer promise for sustainable building designs in terms of both environmental performance and structural material stability.
