TL;DR: In this paper, the compressive and flexural tensile strength and drying shrinkage properties of mortar mixtures containing high-calcium nonstandard Afsin-Elbistan fly ash (FA) were evaluated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first fraction of gas evolved, that fraction which has least contamination, was used to date a lime mortar and correction of results by σC13 and dendrochronology.
Abstract: Lime mortar can be dated successfully by the following important modificationsin technique: 1) crushing and sieving to remove inert aggregate; 2) acidization of live mortar and taking only the first fraction of gas evolved, that fraction which has least contamination; 3) correction of results by σC13 and dendrochronology. We have applied this technique to buildings in Stobi with generally successful results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of glass powder proportions on cement in cement mortar was discussed, and a 10% substitution amount was considered the best in durability tests involving sodium hydroxide, sodium sulfate, and concentrated sulfuric acid resistance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of high-fines on the properties of cement mortar and concrete were evaluated using a total of 5 sands were used in this mortar study, 10 of which were included in the concrete research.
Abstract: The use of manufactured fine aggregate (MFA) in portland cement concrete becomes more common as sources of natural sands are depleted. There is a great need to utilize MFA better, particularly the minus 85 micro m sizes. The development of specifications that aid aggregates producers, engineers, and specifying agencies in the utilization of MFA is of interest to many parties. Better utilization of crushed aggregates has both economic and environmental benefits for the construction and materials industry. This report presents some of the effects of high-fines on the properties of cement mortar and concrete. A total of 5 sands were used in this mortar study, 10 of which were included in the concrete research. A summary of aggregate characteristics that affect the properties of mortar and concrete are presented along with the correlations evaluated between these properties.
