Bibliography

Presents guidance on the use of I.S. EN 13139 which specifies the properties of aggregates and filler aggregates obtained by processing natural, manufactured or recycled materials and mixtures of these aggregates for use in mortar. This includes masonry mortar, floor/screed mortar, plastering mortar, rendering mortar, special bedding materials, repair mortar and grouts.
