Abstract

Resistance of three mortars (the lime mortar, the gypsum mortar and the mortar with the composite binder) against molds was evaluated. Mortars were also compared according to their pH, bulk density, strength and porosity. Experiments showed that the lime mortar has the best resistance against molds and the lowest bending and compressive strength. The mortar with the composite binder has better mold resistance and higher bending and compressive strength than the gypsum mortar.
