The bioproduct was used either sonicated or non-sonicated and two volumes of mixing fluid were tested. The aim was to assess the advantages and drawbacks that could be achieved with a waste-based bioproduct, instead of petrochemical-based additions. The investigation revealed a positive effect on workability, producing mortars with a lower mixing fluid content, improving the mechanical performance. Finally, the bioproducts reduced the mortar water absorption by gravity and capillary. PB Elsevier SN 0950-0618 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10612/14756 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10612/14756 NO .
