Estimation of Creeping Resistance of an Adhesive Layer Based on Dry Mortar

Abstract

The development of construction materials with increased operational properties is a priority direction of Russian modern structural material science. Dry mortars are among such materials. Various modifiers are added to the formulae of such mixes in order to control their structure formation and increase the operational properties. Previous investigations proved the efficiency of adding synthetic zeolites to the composition of dry mortars. The authors of the article have developed a formula of a dry mortar to be used as a tile adhesive for facades’ and inner walls’ facing. The authors evaluated the operational properties of tile adhesive layer based on dry cement mortar. The authors calculated the value of adhesive layer creep based on the developed dry cement mortar formula, which was spread over a vertical surface. The experimental data is presented in the article. The calculations and the experimental data proved that the adhesive layer based on dry cement mortar possesses a high creeping resistance.
