Mortar

TL;DR: In this article, a value-added solution to convert marine clay, which has a low kaolinite phase of 20wt, into supplementary cementitious material through thermal activation and that can partially replace ordinary Portland cement in concrete.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of FBA aggregates on the density, compressive strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity and flow characteristics of the mortar were investigated, and the porosity and water capillary absorption of the mixture was measured to evaluate the properties of moisture transport.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of different admixtures (super plasticizer, accelerating, retarding, air-entraining agent and one type of fibre) on the shrinking behaviour of the mortars were studied accordingly.

TL;DR: Biocement, a product of microbially induced carbonate precipitation is utilized in MK-modified cement mortars to improve its compressive strength and reduce the porosity of mortars at all ages.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed an environmental impact assessment using life cycle assessment methodology on alkali-activated mortars produced from chemically modified one and two-part waste-derived activators (waste glass and rice husk ash) in comparison to conventional one-and twopart activators, to estimate the influence of activator on environmental impact of mortar.
