Abstract:In the present study, experimental investigations on the influence of mixing water content used for the preparation of mortar mix using factory-made dry-mix mortar dedicated to bricklaying with clinker masonry units are presented, as well as the curing time on flexural bond strength of masonry made of these two materials. The flexural bond strength was tested using the “wrench test” method. The masonry tests specimens were prepared using three volumes of mixing water as follows: 4.0 L (the value recommended by… Show more
