HT properties of brick mortar

HT properties of brick mortar

(OP)
Can anyone tell me how to find thermal conductivity, density, and specific heat of common mortar used in brick walls?

RE: HT properties of brick mortar

Incropera and DeWitt (Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer) list the following values for cement mortar.

Thermal conductivity = .72 W/m K
Density = 1860 kg/m^3
Specific Heat = 780 J/kg K

I assume that the references in this book could also point you to more information about other building materials.
