TL;DR: In this paper, it has been shown that the contraction of a mortar caused by air entrainment offsets the thermal expansion mismatch stress sufficiently to prevent cracking, and the magnitude of the contraction in air-entrained mortar is shown to account for a reduction of salt scaling damage.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads as lightweight aggregate, both in concrete and mortar, has been investigated, and the compressive strength of the EPS concretes containing fly ash showed a continuous gain even up to 90 days.

TL;DR: In this article, the possibility of reusing ceramic materials waste from container glass, bricks and tiles of red-clay ceramic industry in Portugal as partial cement replacement in mortar and concrete was examined.

TL;DR: In this article, the sulfate resistance of blended Portland cement with fly ash and ground rice husk ash (RHA) was studied, and it was shown that RHA was more effective than fly ash in reducing the expansion of the mortar bars and the pH values.

TL;DR: In this paper, a spectrum of thermal and XRD analysis results from ancient, Byzantine, post-Byzantine and later historic mortars from Greece is presented and relevant information concerning the characterization of traditional mortars is validated.
