Basic Civil & Mechanical Engineering: UNIT II: l. Mortar
Properties, Uses of cement mortar
Mortar is mainly used as a binding material in brick or stone masonry.
PROPERTIES OF CEMENT MORTAR
1.
Durability: It should be durable and easily workable.
2.
Adhesion: It should have good adhesion with bricks, stones,
etc.
3.
Quick Hardening: It should set and harden quickly so
that speed of construction may be maintained.
4.
Penetration of Water: It should offer good resistance to the
penetration of rain water.
5.
No Cracks: It should not crack in the joints.
6.
Appearance: It should be in a position to maintain
its original appearance for long periods.
USES OF CEMENT MORTAR
1.
Binding Material: Mortar is mainly used as a binding
material in brick or stone masonry.
2.
Plastering: It is used for plastering of surfaces of
structures like walls, beams, columns, etc.
3.
Floor Finishes: It is used for floor finishes,
providing a hard and smooth covering surface.
4.
Decorative Works: It is used as a binding material for
decorative works like stone-facing, tile-facing, etc.
5.
Pointing: It is used for pointing of masonry works.
6.
Even Bed: Mortar is used to form an even bed for irregular
surfaces of stones in a structure. Thus, it is used to distribute the super
incumbent weight uniformly on the bed.
