      <dc:description>We would like to thank the staff of ARGOS D.C. (Padul, Spain) and INERTES GUHILAR S.L. (Alhendín, Spain) for their help in this study, and also the Departments of Building Construction and Civil Engineering of Granada University and the research group Environmental Management and Techonology (RNM-197) of the Andalusian Research Plan.</dc:description>
      <dc:description>The main aim of this study has been to determine the influence of pre-soaked recycled fine aggregate&#xd;
(RFA) on the properties of masonry mortar. A control mortar and six mortar series were prepared in&#xd;
which 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% natural aggregate (NA) was replaced with pre-soaked or non-pre-soaked&#xd;
RFA. Total water content of the recycled mortars was equal to or greater than that of the control mortar.&#xd;
The results show that pre-soaking slightly reduced the consistency of the mortar while improving bulk&#xd;
density (in both the fresh and hardened state) and air content, particularly with total NA substitution;&#xd;
compressive and flexural strength were increased with all RFA ratios. Therefore, the pre-soaking method&#xd;
of masonry mortar manufacture can help reduce the absorption capacity of these aggregates and improving&#xd;
recycling.</dc:description>
