Dr. Topraladoddi Madhavi
Abstract
For millennia, construction projects have employed mortar, a crucial component of buildings. It is a material that resembles paste that joins bricks, stones, or other construction components to produce a sturdy and long-lasting structure. Bricks, stones, or other building components must be bonded together with the use of building mortar. It gives the entire construction cohesiveness, strength, and durability. Mortar comes in four varieties, each with a distinct proportion of sand, hydrated lime, and cement. The letters M, S, N, and O represent the many varieties of mortar. Compressive strength, flexibility, and bonding qualities are all provided by diverse mixes. The composition, varieties, and uses of construction mortar are highlighted in this chapter.
