Experimental characterisation of a cement-based compound with recycled aggregates and EPS from rehabilitation work

This article presents the results of an experimental characterisation of the physical and mechanical properties of a cement-based compound that includes recycled fine ceramic aggregates and EPS for various dosages from rehabilitation work. The aim of this research is to propose a new construction ma...
