USE OF HIGH DUCTILE MORTAR MIXING METHOD FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF FLEXURAL FRACTURE BEHAVIOUR OF STEEL FILLER MORTAR

Use of high ductile mortar mixing method for the enhancement of flexural fracture behaviour of steel filler mortar

The use of steel fillers enhances the flexural behaviour of mortar and concrete.However, it makes it more difficult to disperse them uniformly and coat them firmly in the mortar/concrete with the conventional mixing method while using them at higher content.In this method, steel fillers are generally mixed after the mixing of mortar with a full par
