    Mortar mix ratio i.e. proportioning of cement sand in mortar provides consistency in the performance and appearance of masonry construction. Proper proportioning of mortar ingredients helps in having the following advantages:

    • Uniformity of strength
    • Uniform workability
    • Uniform color
    • Uniformity of proportions and yields

    Mainly the proportioning of the cement and sand for mortar is conducted by volume proportioning compared to weight proportion.

    The types of cement mortar are in detail explained in the article below-

    Kelly ball test is simply a test used for measuring the workability of concrete.

    Test apparatus look like

    The Kelly ball test was formally standardized in ASTM C360-92: the name is “Standard Test Method for Ball Penetration in Freshly Mixed Hydraulic Cement Concrete.”

     

    Advantages:

    • The test is faster than the slump test.

    I has been claimed that the Kelly ball test provides more accurate results than the slump
    test.

    Disadvantages:

    • Like the slump test, the Kelly ball test is a static test.
    • The test must be performed on a level surface of concrete
    • Largea aggregate can influence the results of kelly ball.
