Discussion of functions and properties of ordinary mortar and plaster; shows relatively minor and more or less indeterminate contribution of fine aggregate to these properties; data most needed for logical selection of aggregate have to do with plasticity and volume change, but very few have been secured up to this time; application of so-called plastic mortar test to 35 building sands indicates that this is safeguard against dangerous sands, and that poorly graded or excessively fine sands are uneconomical.
