Abstract


Mortars are building materials used ever more widely in construction and in a more specialized way. Their characteristics and performances are different depending on the purpose for which they are designed. In order to guarantee the characteristics and the proper use required by their purpose, in situ quality control is necessary. This article analyzes, in the first place, the characteristics of the main types of mortars as well as the specifications normally adopted in the Project, generally corresponding to those officially established by Standards, Technical Guides, Specifications, etc. A large part of these reference documents is being revised and this article mentions the present state of the technical regulations. Lastly, the article proposes guidelines to be adopted for the quality control of mortars, distinguishing the different stages in which this process may be divided.
