The physical performance and durability of cement mortar mixed with water-repellent natural zeolite was evaluated. Cement mortars were prepared by mixing ZWR1%, 3%, and 5% (ZWR: Zeolite + Water Repellent impregnation) in cement powder, and compressive strength, contact angle, water penetration test, resistance chloride penetration test, chloride diffusion coefficient, and accelerated carbonation test were evaluated. When the mixing ratio of ZWR increased, the compressive strength of the test specimen was reduced compared to OPC. In contact angle measurement, water penetration test, chloride penetration resistance test, chloride diffusion coefficient, and accelerated carbonation test, the ZWR-containing samples showed superior properties compared to OPC. It was found that the durability test results improved as the amount of mixing was increased, and the durability of the test specimen containing 5% ZWR was found to be the best.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma13153288","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,23]],"date-time":"2020-07-23T11:26:01Z","timestamp":1595503561000},"page":"3288","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Experimental Study on the Evaluation of Physical Performance and Durability of Cement Mortar Mixed with Water Repellent Impregnated Natural Zeolite"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Chang Bok","family":"Yoon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Architectural Engineering, Hanyang University, Seoul 04763, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Han Seung","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Architecture and Architectural Engineering, Hanyang University, ERICA, Ansan 5588, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"833","DOI":"10.1016\/j.matdes.2013.11.080","article-title":"The development of compressive strength of ground granulated blast furnace slag-palm oil fuel ash-fly ash based geopolymer mortar","volume":"56","author":"Islam","year":"2014","journal-title":"Mater.
