Strength and microstructure of mortar with sand substitutes

The strength and microstructure of mortars incorporating manufactured sand (MS) and various levels of granite powder (GP) as substitutes for river sand (RS) are considered in the paper. The optimum RS substitution by GP is 15 % by mass for the maximum compressive and splitting tensile strength. Stre...
