| Abstract | ||
| The research aim is to evaluate the properties of Ferro Cement mortar and the effect of the Wire Mesh strengthening layers number from(1-6) layers on the compressive and flexural strength with cement decreasing ability of the wall finishing mortar with one mesh layer. (127) samples were required, samples for reference cement paste standard consistency ,reference mortar compressive and flexural strength tests in addition to that a Samples for the strengthened mortar compressive and flexural strength tests with one mesh layer up to (6)layers ,another samples also for the strengthened mortar tests with one mesh layer and reducing the cement. Results showed that the strengthened mortar by (5) mesh layers was increased in compressive strength by (61.5%) and flexural strength by(205.21%) more than their reference mortar strengths. When strengthening the walls finishing mortar by one mesh layer we can decreasing the mortar cement content by a ratio of(20%) of its weight in reference mortar and the mortar properties are satisfied the requirements of the Iraqi specifications with good workability. | ||
