Evaluating the eco-compatibility of mortars with feldspar-based fine aggregate

As cement manufacturing is associated with CO2 emissions that contribute to environmental problems, cement usage must be reduced and alternative aggregates must be developed. Thus, we developed and evaluated a mortar that uses feldspar as a fine aggregate, which does not require additional mineral a...
