DEVELOPMENT OF DRY MIX MORTARS FOR FLOOR ELEMENTS

Dry mix mortars are widely used in construction projects for the implementation of construction works in new construction, reconstruction, and repair. The improvement of properties of dry mix mortars for the installation of floor screeds is relevant. The purpose of such mortars is to equalize the differences in the thickness of the floor surface, to create an intermediate layer characterized by the necessary strength, durability, and even surface with the possibility of decoration with various types of flooring. A step-by-step design of the composition of dry mix mortar for the installation of floor screeds was carried out. The ratio of fine aggregates and limestone filler was optimized according to the maximum packing density criterion, the required amount of plasticizer was selected according to the consistency index of the fresh mortar, and the minimum amount of Portland cement was selected to ensure the required strength.
