What is Mortar? Sand = + + Water Mortar Cement
Significance of Rapid Setting Mortar Decreased Set Time Less Time on Job Cost Efficiency
Superplasticizers BASF MASTERGLENIUM 7500 Superplasticizers help increase the flow ability of the mortar while sustaining compressive strength and set time SIKA VISCOCRETE EUCLID CHEMICAL EUCON 1035 SIKAMENT
Procedures Design Mortar Mix Each Sample Test Each Sample Compare Results
Flow Table Test • • • Fill mold halfway and tamp 25 times Continue to fill mold completely and tamp 25 more times Remove mold and turn handle to drop table 25 times in 15 seconds Take average of 4 diameters Flow= (100)*(Avg. Diameter- Inner base of mold diameter)/ Inner Base of Mold Diameter
Compression Test Surface Area= Average of 3 widths multiplied by the average of the 3 height measurements Compressive Strength= Max Load/Surface Area
Vicat Needle Test • Mold mortar paste in conical ring • Find the initial and Final Setting Time • Initial Time= Elapsed time from when the water touches the mortar until the needle penetrates 25 mm or less • Final Time= Elapsed time from when the water touches the mortar until the needle no longer penetrates

Conclusion • Eucon 2 ml has an optimal flowability, set time, and compressive strength. • Most of the other superplaciticizers has a retarding effect on the mortar. • Future research may include printing methods or manipulating proportions to make a more efficient mix.
Deliverables • Continue mixing different mixes using the different chemicals • Analyze the finalized data to find best mix • Use the optimal mix to use the mortar gun for 3 D printing • Prepare and finalize publication
