Portland cement and lime (PCL) together function as the binder in masonry mortar. What is the role of Portland cement (PC) in mortar after the wall has been constructed?
What will be an ideal response?
PC gives compressive strength to mortar, i.e., increases the wall's compressive strength. It also increases the bond
between the masonry units and mortar, i.e., increases the wall's flexural tensile bond strength (bending strength).
