TL;DR: In this article, the authors used recycled concrete fines obtained from crushed concrete (RCF) to replace part of the cement in new mortar recipes, and the results show that RCFs can be a beneficial addition, especially in the case of blended cements.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of water content, packing density and solid surface area on the rheology of CSF mortar were evaluated in terms of the water film thickness (WFT).
Abstract: In a recent study, the authors have demonstrated that the combined effects of water content, packing density and solid surface area on the rheology of cement–sand mortar may be evaluated in terms of the water film thickness (WFT). The present study aims to extend the concept of WFT to mortar containing condensed silica fume (CSF). For the study, mortar samples with various CSF and water contents were made for packing density, flowability and rheology measurements. It was found that although the effects of adding CSF are fairly complicated, the WFT is still the single most important parameter governing the rheology of CSF mortar. However, the rheological properties are dependent also on the CSF content. Correlations of the rheological properties to both the WFT and CSF content yielded R2 values of at least 0.896.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a method of mix design based on an extensive investigation in which a new relationship is put forward between the percentage by volume of aggregate and the water/cement ratio, given constant consistence and grading.
Abstract: The article describes a method of mix design which recently has been introduced in Sweden. The method has wide applicability as it can be used for both concrete and mortar, with great variations in constituents and properties. The method is based on an extensive investigation in which a new relationship is put forward between the percentage by volume of aggregate and the water/cement ratio, given constant consistence and grading.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have demonstrated that the physical characteristics and mechanical properties of cement mortar are significantly improved by the reinforcement of jute fibre reinforcement, and three different processes methodologies were adopted to mix the jute fiber homogeneously in the mortar matrix.
