THE EFFECT OF FINE AGGREGATE ON THE DURABILITY OF MORTARS

A COMPARISON IS MADE OF DATA FROM LABORATORY DURABILITY TESTS OF FINE AGGREGATES AND MORTARS MADE THEREFROM AND DATA FROM NATURAL WEATHERING OF THE MORTARS. EIGHTEEN FINE AGGREGATES WERE SUBJECTED TO SODIUM AND MAGNESIUM SULFATE TESTS AND TO AN ACCELERATED FREEZING-THAWING TEST. A FAST AND SLOW LABORATORY FREEZING-THAWING TEST WAS USED FOR THE MORTAR SPECIMENS, WHICH WERE ALSO PLACED OUTSIDE IN ONE INCH OF WATER.
