TL;DR: The experimental results obtained after casting concrete formulated with different mix proportions of municipal solid waste incineration by-products, bottom ash (BA) and air pollution control fly ash (APCFA), as aggregates, can be concluded that these concrete mix proportions are suitable for use as non-structural concrete.

TL;DR: In this paper, Magnesium Phosphate Cements (MPCs) with boric acid as additive were optimized to obtain good mechanical properties and proper setting times, and the viability of the developed formulations to be used as repair mortar was evaluated.

TL;DR: The present work describes the change of mechanical properties during the natural weathering of freshly quenched processed bottom ash, finding mechanical properties obtained are 6-7 times greater than those obtained from previously weathered bottom ash.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of magnesium by-products as aggregates in fire-protecting mortars has been evaluated and the effect of different kinds of aggregates (e.g., vermiculite, fly ashes) in the thermal behaviour of fire-protected mortars was reported.

TL;DR: The influence of the slaking method on the characteristics of lime putties has been investigated in this paper, where the same raw lime, calcined in a traditional kiln, was used to perform in situ traditional slaking processes as well as laboratory controlled SLaking processes.
