The cement mortar is one of the greatest binding material widely used in construction.
A bonding paste prepared by adding a certain quantity of water with cement and fine aggregates is called mortar.
The quality and strength of any structure depend on the selection of its mortar mix ratio. Selecting irrelevant mortar mix ratio also affects project cost.
we have also discussed the calculation to find out the cement mortar materials
Cement Mortar Mix Ratio
The recommended Mortar Mix Ratio has listed below for the various types of work.
| Nature of Work | Ratio |
| Brick Masonry | 1:6 or 1:5 |
