Evaluation of mixing and application process parameters of single-coat mortars

abstract

The effects of different preparation and application conditions of single-coat mortars in their characteristics as fresh and hardened products are described in this work. The parameters under consideration were mixing water, mixing and resting time of the fresh mortar. Tests were made in the fresh mortar like apparent density, amount of entrained air and water retention. Tests with the hardened mortar also included mechanical strength and capillarity evaluations. Finally, practical cases were considered and here some application parameters were studied. It was possible to conclude on some important parameters affecting both the processing and application of single-coat mortars. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
