Abstract

This chapter discusses mortars for the building and construction industry. As in the case of concrete, mortar is manufactured by mixing aggregates, cementitious materials, water, and admixtures and additives if required. Definitions dealing with mortars are first presented, followed by the principal methods to classify types of mortars. Description of constituent materials of mortar is then carried out, including some data about mix proportions of the mortar constituents. Further headings are devoted to properties and tests of mortars, with emphasis on the most important properties of both fresh and hardened mortars. The chapter continues with a brief description of the dry mix mortar production process, including raw material storage, dosing, and mixing. The main types of mortars, i.e., masonry and rendering, are discussed in an abbreviated form at the end of the chapter.
