Table 2.

RM/BFS mortar chemical composition (the first number refers to %wt. of RM in the RM/BFS precursor mixture). Reported in the table are the percentages of RM in powder mix; sodium silicate R-value is equal to 2. The Sand ratio is the ratio between the amount of inert material (sand) and the sum of the reagent powders (RM, BFS).
