Pneumatic Mortar
Pneumatic Mortar
(OP)
I am performing a study on a building built in 1960 and the drawings call out walls that are constructed of 4" pneumatic mortar. Visually it looks like plain old concrete but don't know anything else about the material.





RE: Pneumatic Mortar
Mortar is normally used for masonry to join masonry units together or keep them apart.
Frequently, people erroneously use the term "mortar" for anything that contains cement and/or lime and water. They also confuse it with the "paste" the bonds the aggregate into a concrete mix or they confuse mortar with grout.
What type of structure and where is it located? How are the walls used (partition, loadbearing, infill, etc.)?
