Requirements5.1 Unless otherwise stated, a cement/lime mortar, a mortarcement mortar, or a masonry

29、cement mortar is permitted. Amortar type of known higher strength shall not be indiscrimi-nately substituted where a mortar type of anticipated lowerstrength is specified.5.2 Proportion SpecificationsMortar conforming to theproportion specifications shall consist of a mixture of cemen-titious materi

See Appendix X1 or Appendix X3 fora guide for selecting masonry mortars.5.3 Property SpecificationsMortar conformance to theproperty specifications shall be established

31、by tests of labora-tory prepared mortar in accordance with Section 6 and 7.2. Thelaboratory prepared mortar shall consist of a mixture ofcementitious material, aggregate, and water, all conforming tothe requirements of Section 4 and the properties of thelaboratory prepared mortar shall conform to th

32、e requirementsof Table 2. See Appendix X1 for a guide for selecting masonrymortars.5.3.1 No change shall be made in the laboratory establishedproportions for mortar accepted under the property specifica-tions, except for the quantity of mixing water. Materials withdifferent physical characteristics

33、shall not be utilized in themortar used in the work unless compliance with the require-ments of the property specifications is reestablished.3Available from the Mason Contractors Association of America, 1910 SouthHighland Avenue, Suite 101, Lombard, IL 60148.C 270 08a2NOTE 3The physical properties o

34、f plastic and hardened mortarcomplying with the proportion specification (5.1) may differ from thephysical properties of mortar of the same type complying with theproperty specification (5.3). For example, laboratory prepared mortarsbatched to the proportions listed in Table 1 will, in many cases,co

35、nsiderably exceed the compressive strength requirements of Table 2.NOTE 4The required properties of the mortar in Table 2 are forlaboratory prepared mortar mixed with a quantity of water to produce aflow of 110 6 5 %. This quantity of water is not sufficient to produce amortar with a workable consis

36、tency suitable for laying masonry units inthe field. Mortar for use in the field must be mixed with the maximumamount of water, consistent with workability, in order to provide sufficientwater to satisfy the initial rate of absorption (suction) of the masonry units.The properties of laboratory prepa

37、red mortar at a flow of 110 6 5, asrequired by this specification, are intended to approximate the flow andproperties of field prepared mortar after it has been placed in use and thesuction of the masonry units has been satisfied. The properties of fieldprepared mortar mixed with the greater quantit

38、y of water, prior to beingplaced in contact with the masonry units, will differ from the propertyrequirements in Table 2. Therefore, the property requirements in Table 2cannot be used as requirements for quality control of field preparedmortar. Test Method C 780 may be used for this purpose.NOTE 5Ai
