Abstract

Now-a-days, curing process is not mostly done while constructing a building and, use of cement mortar is very high in bonding the bricks. Curing process need more time, days, and weeks to set the cement mortar bonding between the bricks and to obtain its strength. There arises a need of alternative material in the cement mortar for its internal curing. Selected size of manufactured sand is added and tested for its self-curing process. After finding the self-curing of the manufactured sand it is added to the cement mortar. To attain its strength and the curing process is lower in necessary by adding the manufactured sand and the hydration process takes place in the cement by its self-curing process. It gives good compressive strength to the cement mortar. By adding the manufactured sand it may reduce the self-weight to 1.2 times the weight of ordinary cement mortar. The main objectives of this project are (1) to investigate and test the cement mortar for increasing the strength cement mortar, (2) to utilize waste materials obtained from construction industry, (3) it reduce the curing process, (4) to do various tasks like sieve analysis, water absorption, specific gravity, compressive strength for manufactured sand using in cement mortar, and (5) it reduce the self-weight of cement mortar.
