(c) 1:4 (3p)
(d) 1:5 (3p)
(e) 1:6 (3p)

Mass of mortar layer = 2100  210  110  12 /109= 0.58212 kg

Mass of cement for 1:2 grade mortar masonry Prism = 0.194  4  3 = 2.3285 kg
Mass of cement for 1:3 grade mortar masonry Prism = 0.14553  4  3 = 1.7464 kg
Mass of cement for 1:4 grade mortar masonry Prism = 0.1164  4  3 = 1.3971 kg
Mass of cement for 1:5 grade mortar masonry Prism = 0.09702  4  3 = 1.16424 kg
Mass of cement for 1:6 grade mortar masonry Prism = 0.08316  4  3 = 0.99792 kg

Total = 7.6342  2.3 (For grooved brick prism) = 17. 60 kg

(3) Test for shear strength (Couplet & Triplet for both plane & grooved brick masonry)
(a) 1:2 (3p)
(b) 1:3 (3p)
(c) 1:4 (3p)
(d) 1:5 (3p)
(e) 1:6 (3p)
(f) Mass of mortar layer = 2100  210  110  12 /109= 0.58212 kg

For Couplet

Mass of cement for 1:2 grade mortar masonry Prism = 0.194  1  3 = 0.58200 kg
Mass of cement for 1:3 grade mortar masonry Prism = 0.14553  1  3 = 0.43659 kg
Mass of cement for 1:4 grade mortar masonry Prism = 0.1164  1  3 = 0.34920 kg
Mass of cement for 1:5 grade mortar masonry Prism = 0.09702  1  3 = 0.29106 kg
Mass of cement for 1:6 grade mortar masonry Prism = 0.08316  1  3 = 0.24948 kg
Total = 2 kg

For Triplet
Mass of cement for 1:2 grade mortar masonry Prism = 0.194  2  3 = 1.16400 kg
Mass of cement for 1:3 grade mortar masonry Prism = 0.14553  2  3 = 0.87318 kg
Mass of cement for 1:4 grade mortar masonry Prism = 0.1164  2  3 = 0.69840 kg
Mass of cement for 1:5 grade mortar masonry Prism = 0.09702  2  3 = 0.58212 kg
Mass of cement for 1:6 grade mortar masonry Prism = 0.08316  2  3 = 0.49896 kg
Total = 4 kg

Overall total amount of cement required for the above mentioned tests = 6.5175 kg
+ 17. 60 kg + 2 kg + 4 kg = 30.1175  34 kg (considering mortar occupied by the
groove of brick)
