h i g h l i g h t sStudy of mortars with iron ore tailings (IOT): physical-mechanical properties. IOT present higher density than natural aggregates due to the iron concentration. Mortars with IOT showed mechanical properties fitter to brick laying than regular ones. Replacement up to 20% of lime by IOT granted satisfactory properties for coating. IOT morphology and voids required more mixing water to obtain plasticity in mortars.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
