abstract = {The main aim of this study has been to determine the influence of pre-soaked recycled fine aggregate
(RFA) on the properties of masonry mortar. A control mortar and six mortar series were prepared in
which 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% natural aggregate (NA) was replaced with pre-soaked or non-pre-soaked
RFA. Total water content of the recycled mortars was equal to or greater than that of the control mortar.
The results show that pre-soaking slightly reduced the consistency of the mortar while improving bulk
density (in both the fresh and hardened state) and air content, particularly with total NA substitution;
compressive and flexural strength were increased with all RFA ratios. Therefore, the pre-soaking method
of masonry mortar manufacture can help reduce the absorption capacity of these aggregates and improving
recycling.},
