suitable mortor
Stabilised Earth Mortar is best suited for masonry using mud blocks.
- Mud mortar shall be stabilised 1.5 times more than the mud blocks.
- Add course sand (0.2 to 2mm) to reduce shrinkage.
- Prepare plastic mix rather than dry mix.
- Ideal mix = soil suitable for mud block + 40% to 50% of sand by weight + 7.5% cement.
- Test the mortor before use.
