Abstract
Cement mortar is unavoidable part of any construction. Strength and durability of mortar is necessary for long life of structure. At the time of preparation of mortar, various admixtures are added for enhancement of its various engineering properties. Addition of admixtures alters it workability, strength, etc. In this experimental study, it is observed that by adding some nano-materials, the flow value of the mortar decreases, but by increasing the content of the nanoparticles, workability increases slightly. Similarly by adding polymer PVA, the workability increases than the control mix, when content of polymer is 2% of cement. The workability of mortar increases with addition of nano and polymer when both are added.
