APPENDIX D
(required)

Minimum cement consumption in masonry mortar

Mortar called the material obtained as a result of hardening of a rationally selected mixture binder(cement, lime), fine aggregate(sand) and water, and, if necessary, special additives. Before hardening, this material is called mortar mixture.

The fundamental difference between mortars and fine-grained concrete is that mortar mixtures are laid in thin layers, usually on a porous base, and one of the main properties of mortars is good adhesion to the base.

According to their intended purpose, mortars are: masonry - for masonry made of bricks, piece stones and blocks; finishing(plastering) - for plastering external and internal surfaces structures; special - for monolithic prefabricated reinforced concrete structures, for thermal and waterproofing and other special purposes.

Solutions are named according to the properties of the main binder included in them (hydraulic and air) and the type of binder (cement, lime, gypsum and mixed - cement-lime, cement-clay, lime-gypsum).

Solutions are differentiated by density ordinary heavy(density more than 1500 kg/m 3), obtained from dense aggregates (natural sand, etc.), and lungs(less than 1500 kg/m 3), manufactured on porous aggregates (expanded clay sand, expanded perlite, etc.). Light solutions, in addition, are obtained using special foaming additives - porous solutions.

2.2. PROPERTIES OF MORTAR MIXTURES AND HARDENED SOLUTIONS

Mortar mixture must have good workability in order to be easily distributed over the porous base, and high water-holding capacity in order to prevent the base from sucking water into itself.

Workability - the ability of the mortar mixture to be easily distributed over the surface in a continuous manner thin layer, adhering well to the surface of the base. Easy to lay mortar mixture even when laid on uneven surface fills all the depressions and adheres tightly to the masonry stones. Workability is assessed by the mobility of the mixture.

Mobility The mortar mixture is determined by the depth of immersion into it of a standard cone (Fig. 11.1) with a mass of 300 g, a height of 150 mm and an apex angle of 30°. The cone is made of tin, with a weight (lead shot) placed inside it.

In construction conditions, a cone is used with divisions marked on its surface and with a chain (or cord) attached to the center of the base. The mortar mixture, the mobility of which must be determined, is placed in a metal container (for example, a bucket) and the cone is immersed in it. In laboratories they use special device, the main element of which is the same cone (Fig. 11.1, b).

Such a cone was proposed by N.A. Popov at the Central Construction Laboratory “StroyTSNIL” in the 30s of the 20th century, therefore it is often called the StroyTSNIL cone. Based on mobility, mortar mixtures are divided into grades (P k):

Mobility grade Cone immersion depth, cm

P to 1.............. 1...4

P to 2 ............. 4...8

P to 3............. 8...12

P to 4............. 12...14

Depending on the purpose, mortar mixtures are used various brands by mobility:

Purpose of the solution Brand of solution

Rubble masonry with vibration....... P to 1

Filling joints in panel buildings P k 2

Hollow brick masonry and

ceramic stones......................... P to 2 … P to 3

Masonry from ordinary ceramic bricks P to 3…P to 4

Plastering works...............P to 2…P to 3

One of the ways to increase the mobility of a mortar mixture is to increase the water content in it, but at the same time, in order to maintain the strength of the solution and the water-holding capacity of the mixture, the consumption of the binder is increased. A more rational way to increase mobility is to introduce plasticizing additives into the solution.

Water holding capacity - This is the ability of a mortar mixture to retain water when applied to a porous substrate or during transportation. If a mortar mixture with low water-holding capacity is applied, for example, to a brick, it is quickly dehydrated as a result of water being sucked into the pores of the brick. In this case, the hardened solution will be porous and fragile.

When transporting, mortar mixtures with low water-holding capacity may separate: the sand will settle down and the water will end up on top. The lower the water-holding capacity, the more likely the mortar mixture will separate.

The water-holding capacity depends on the amount of binder in the solution, since the finest binder powder forms a viscous dough with water, preventing the separation of water and aggregate. The water-holding capacity can be increased without increasing cement consumption by introducing fine mineral powders into the mortar mixture, including cheaper binders (lime, clay) or thickening (water-retaining) water-soluble polymer additives, such as methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, etc.

Hardened mortar must have the required strength and frost resistance.

Strength mortars are characterized by a grade determined by the compressive strength of cube samples measuring 70.7 x 70.7 x 70.7 mm. Samples made from the working mortar mixture harden in air for 28 days at a temperature of (20 ± 5) °C. To bring the hardening conditions of samples closer to the real hardening conditions of masonry mortars, molds without a bottom are used and installed on a porous base (brick).

Based on compressive strength, expressed in kgf/cm2, mortars are divided into grades: 4; 10; 25; 50; 75; 100; 150; 200. Solutions of grades 4; 10; 25 are usually made using lime and local binders; mortars of higher grades - on mixed cement-lime, cement-clay and cement binders.

The strength of mortars, as well as concrete, depends on the brand of binder and its quantity. However, the water-binding ratio in in this case is not significant, since the porous base on which the solution is applied sucks water from it, and the amount of water in different solutions becomes approximately the same.

The grades of the most commonly used masonry and plaster mortars are significantly lower than the grades of concrete. This is explained by the fact that the strength of masonry mortars does not significantly affect the strength of stone masonry correct form, and plaster solutions practically do not bear any load. Higher demands are placed on the strength of mortars for monolithic load-bearing prefabricated reinforced concrete structures.

Frost resistance solutions, as well as concrete, are determined by the number of “freezing-thawing” cycles, but before the loss of 25% of the original strength or 5% of the mass. Based on frost resistance, solutions are divided into grades: F10...F200.

The building mixture has several qualities that directly depend on each other. The water-holding capacity of mortar mixtures, application temperature, average density, humidity (only for dry systems), stratification and mobility of the solution are all interrelated properties.

Mobility and water-holding capacity are the most important properties of mortar mixtures.

This feature can be determined using a special metal conical projectile 15 cm high, with an apex angle of 30 degrees and weighing 300 g.

This is done because the mortar mixture for each masonry and material must have different brand mobility.

Determination of mobility

This characteristic can be easily defined as follows:

  • the cone is immersed in ready material and by the depth to which it sinks the meaning is judged. The deeper the cone goes, the higher it is. In order to determine the depth more accurately, divisions are located on the cone.

The mobility of the solution can be increased by increasing the percentage of water in it.

The mobility of a solution is its ability to spread over a surface under its own weight. This quality is regulated by the quantitative ratio of the components that make up their properties. It can range from 4 to 15, depending on the purpose of its use.

This quality can be increased by increasing the percentage of water in it. The choice of a specific design value depends on the application methods, on the surface of the materials bonded to it and on the weather. For cold weather, the characteristic in question should be lower by about 3-4 cm.

For concrete surface given value should be lower than, for example, for a brick surface. For manual plastering works this characteristic should be higher. Its plasticity, that is, its workability, also depends on this characteristic. If the material is sufficiently plastic, then it fits well on any surface without forming cracks.

The properties of mortar mixtures, or rather its mobility, are determined by the brand.

  • for a masonry element intended for vibrating rubble masonry, the recommended grade is Pk1. The depth to which the cone projectile should descend should be from 1 to 3 cm;
  • for non-vibrated rubble masonry, the Pk2 grade is recommended, and the depth to which the cone projectile is immersed should be from 4 to 6 centimeters;
  • The recommended brand for ceramic stones or hollow bricks is Pk2. The depth to which the cone projectile is lowered is from 7 to 8 centimeters;
  • for masonry of light stones, concrete stones, ceramic stones, solid bricks, the Pk3 grade should be used, the immersion of the cone projectile is from 8 to 12 centimeters;
  • for supplying material with a pump and for filling voids in masonry, Pk4 is recommended, while the depth to which the cone is immersed is from 13 to 14 centimeters inclusive.

The properties of materials for making vertical as well as horizontal joints in the walls of large concrete blocks and panels, and for making beds in the construction of walls made of panels and large concrete blocks should be as follows. The depth of lowering the cone is needed from 5 to 7 centimeters, and the brand is Pk2.

Properties of the product for covering with gypsum: mobility grade - Pk3, cone immersion - 9 - 12 cm.

  • the recommended grade of mobility of the solution for soil is Pk2, the depth of lowering the cone is from 7 to 8 centimeters;
  • the mobility grade of the material for spraying during mechanized application is Pk4, the cone should be immersed to a depth of 9 to 14 centimeters;
  • for spraying at manual way For application, the mobility grade Pk3 is recommended, the immersion of the cone should be 8-12 centimeters;

Transportation and storage

To transport the solution it is necessary to use special vehicles.

To save everyone necessary qualities and the properties of the solution, it must be properly transported and stored. Of course, first of all, special vehicles must be used for transportation. It is also possible to transport finished material in bunkers, but this is allowed only with the consent of the customer. Do not allow foreign impurities and precipitation to enter the mixture.

When delivering the mixture to the construction site, it must be transferred into special containers, such as mixer loaders or others that meet the required standards.
The mortar mixture in dry form (packaged) is transported by road or rail, preventing exposure to precipitation and damage to the packaging.

Store only in dry and covered areas, at a temperature of at least 5°C, while ensuring that no high humidity and the seal of the packaging has not been broken.

Increasing solution mobility

The characteristic under consideration can be improved not only by adding water, but also by increasing the sand fraction and reducing voids.

The properties of mortar mixtures are regulated by replacing rolled sand with sharp-edged sand. In addition, to improve the properties, the thoroughness and duration of mixing the mixture is increased.

If it is necessary to increase the mobility of the mortar mixture without adding water, you can add a plasticizing additive to it, for example, sulfite-alcohol stillage or soap naft
