Utilization of artificial lightweight aggregate and unground rice husk ash as internal curing agents to modify performance of super-sulfated cement mortar

This study attempts to utilize cold-bonded fly ash based artificial lightweight aggregate (ALWA) and retrieved unground rice husk ash (URHA) as internal curing (IC) agents for improving performance of typical supersulfated cement (SSC) mortar fabricated with ternary mixture of 85% slag, 10% gypsum, and only 5% blended Portland cement (PCB).
