Study of the Compressive Strength of Mortars as a Function of Material Composition, Workability, and Specimen Geometry by M. T. Marvila, A. R. G. Azevedo, J. Alexandre, C. M. F. Vieira, E. B. Zanelato, G. C. G. Delaqua, G. C. Xavier, S. N. Monteiro

“…For this purpose, specimens were prepared for six types of mortars: two conventional mortars in the proportions of 1 : 1 : 6 and 1 : 2 : 9 of cement, hydrated lime, and sand, respectively, two with clay replacing lime, and two with marble waste in place of lime. The results confirm the difference between the results found for the two geometries due to the differences in the heights of the molding layers and show that the workability of the mortar modifies the resistance properties, especially in the cylindrical mold where the molding of the specimens is more complex. …”
