Cement mortar of 1:3 mix proportion is used to cast the cubes having an area of 50 cm2 are used for the determination of compressive strength of cement as per IS: 4031-1988 (Part-6). The graded Indian Standard sand (Ennore Sand -ES) confirming to IS: 650-1991 is used for preparing the cubes.
The HEL is the elastic limit under uniaxial shock compression, and is usually determined via planar plate impact tests. Riedel et al. [43] examined the shock compressive response of a normal-strength mortar with a uniaxial compressive strength of 35 MPa, and a high-strength mortar with a compressive strength of 135 …
The compressive strength of hardened cement is the most important of all the properties. Therefore, it is not surprising that the cement is always tested for its strength at the laboratory before the cement is used in important works. ... Immediately after mixing the mortar in accordance with step 1 & 2, place the mortar in the cube mould and ...
This paper describes an experimental investigation into the pore structure of cement mortar using mercury porosimeter. Ordinary Portland cement, manufactured sand, and natural sand were used. The por...
Although machine learning models have been employed for the compressive strength (CS) of cement-based mortar containing metakaolin, it is difficult to…
Cement mortar is a homogeneous mixture of cement, sand, and water in a suitable proportion. Sometimes, the addition of admixture is required in the mortar to make it more resistant to water and chemicals. Portland cement is commonly used in the preparation of cement mortar.
The compressive strength of the mortar specimens increased with the age of the fly ash mortar. However, the compressive strength varied according to the type of fly ash at all ages. The 28-day strength of the fly ash cement mortar was lowest in FA13 at 41.1 MPa and highest in FA8 at 51.5 MPa.
