Cylinder Compression Test Method for Estimation of In-situ Masonry Mortar Strength
The crush compression test method (CCTM), which is frequently used to determine the crushing value of rock particles, is employed to determine the compressive strength of the in-situ masonry mortar in this paper. In a cylinder, mortar particles are partially crushed and the peak load is recorded. To develop standardized test methods, the effect of numerous variables (particle weight of the mortar, mortar cube strength, aggregate gradation ratio, loading time, and loading rate) on the test's precision is addressed. The scattering of values is analyzed to determine the CCTM's reliability and repeatability. The experimental results indicated a high correlation between the CCTM strength and the compressive strength of mortar cubes with an M2.0 to M16.0 compressive strength. Comparative studies with other established test techniques were done to determine whether CCTM could be used as a substitute for compressive testing of masonry mortar. The results of the CCTM tests were highly correlated with the strength parameters of the mortar, particularly for the low-strength mortar. The in-situ test established that the CCTM could accurately determine the change in compressive strength of mortar while maintaining appropriate scatting test values.
