A mortar cement composition is composed of a cement or ground portland cement clinker, ground limestone and/or lime, sand, a sufficient amount of water to render the composition flowable, and at least one water-soluble polymer present in the amount having a lower limit of about 0.001 wt % and an upper limit of about 0.04 wt % based on total dry weight of the ingredients, with the proviso that the extent of adsorption of the polymer onto the cement is less than 50%, and wherein the resulting mortar has 8-16% air content and greater than 70 psi flexural bond strength. This mortar cement composition is for use in building structures in all seismic zones. |
