Morteros de albañilería elaborados con áridos reciclados mixtos y escoria blanca

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to study the effect of the partial

substitution of the most used natural aggregates in the western

region of Cuba, specifically in Havana, by mixed recycled

aggregates and the total substitution of the natural filler, lime

hydrate, by ladle furnace slag, in the elaboration of recycled

masonry mortars. The properties provided by recycled mortars

are compared to those offered by a standard mortar, made with

natural sand and natural filler, and with standard regulation

these products at Cuba. The results achieved are satisfactory,

since the mortars made with recycled materials meet the

requirements required for masonry mortars type III (suitable

laying and coating mortars for use on the ground level).
