Abstract
In this study, the behavior of cement mortar under the Consciousness Bond Field was investigated. Taheri Consciousness Fields (TCFs) were founded and introduced by Mohammad Ali Taheri as new Fields more than four decades ago. These Fields are neither material nor energetic. Therefore, they do not have the quantity, but they have direct effects on both matter and energy. In other words, although TCFs cannot be directly measured, we can investigate their effects indirectly through various reproducible experiments. In all tests of this research, type II cement and standard sand were used. The samples preparation and their strength measurement were done under the ISIR 393 standard, and each group includes 3 prism samples. Three series of experiments were performed with a number of different groups, in each series one group was as control and the others were under Consciousness Bond Field. Series 1 included five groups of cement sand mortar. Compressive and flexural strengths were measured at 7, 28, and 42 days of age. Series 2 included four groups of cement sand mortar which were measured at 7, 28, and 42 days of age. Series 3 included four groups of cement sand mortar made exactly according to the above-said condition. And strength was measured at 7, 28, 42, and 90 days of age. Due to the results received from FT-IR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy), SEM (Scanning electron microscopy), XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence), and XRD (X-ray Diffraction), the growth trend of the strength of the samples under the Consciousness Bond Field were more significant than the control samples. The results of other analyzes showed that the abundance of chemical compounds containing calcium (CaCO3 from 20 to 80% and Ca3SiO5 from 25 to 75%) in the samples under the Consciousness Bond Field at 90 days was higher than the control. While silicon-containing compounds were higher in control samples at the same age. Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), and Phosphorus (P) were reduced by approximately (an average of 30%) in samples under Consciousness Bond Field at 90 days, while the abundance of Aluminum and Calcium was increased (about 7% on average). Differences in the appearance and chemical composition of the crystals, including the amount of ettringite formation in the samples under the Consciousness Bond Field, were observable in SEM imaging.
