Evaluation of Masonry Mortar in Which Natural River Sand is varied by Pond Ash

The guideline goal of the present study is to examine the masonry mortar with various substitution level of sand by pond ash, so as to minimize the use of sand and to enhance the use of wastes products i.e., pond ash. To contemplate the quality advancement of brick work mortar containing different extents of pond ash under ordinary curing, To design mortar mix for 1:4, 1:6 and 1:8 accordance to the IS 2250-1981It was watched that Pond ash fulfills the physical and chemical prerequisites according to IS 2116-1980. We can finish up from the outcomes that addition of 40% to 50% of pond ash in production of bricks work leads to production of good quality brickwork. The compressive strength of mortar at different substitution level fulfill the minimum compressive strength prerequisites according to IS 1905-1987 for various evaluation of mortar. The compressive strength of stone masonry prism diminishes with increase in the substitution level of sand, however up to 25% substitution level the decline in strength is less contrasted with masonry prism with ordinary mortar. The Shear bond strength of masonry prism diminishes with increase in the substitution level of sand, however up to 25% substitution level the lessening is less contrasted with masonry prism with normal mortar. The shear bond strength of quadruplet masonry prism is less contrasted with triplet masonry prism because of increase in the surface range of masonry prism.
