Influence of the kneading water content in the behaviour of single-coat mortars

resumo

The effect of water content in the kneading process of mortars for application as single-coat renders was evaluated in terms of several properties. These properties refer to the mortar product in the fresh and hardened state. Characteristics under evaluation in function of kneading water are, for fresh mortar, the apparent density and entrained air while, for hardened products, apparent density, shrinkage, mechanical properties, abrasion wear and permeability amongst others. If some of these characteristics are obtained by standard tests, others, like abrasion wear, had to be adapted and are described here. Both for fresh and hardened products characteristics, kneading water amount significantly changes them and it was possible to establish the proper content of water to be used in order to get a well-behaved single-coat mortar.
