Suitability of mortars produced using laterite and ceramic wastes: Mechanical and microscale analysis

•With total replacement of sand with ceramic fines, dry bulk density decreased with increasing ceramic powder.•Laterite dominated samples have higher water absorption by capillary action.•Strength increased due to filler action and relative pozzolanic reaction of ceramic.•Structure of ceramic based...
