Z.I MoferioIs

Sfones used in mosonry shoII be of opproved quoIify IocoIIy
ovoiIobIe. They shoII be hord, sound ond free from decoy,
weofhering ond fissures. Sfones wifh round surfoce shoII nof be
used.

Z.Z Cemenf Morfor

Cemenf morfor shoII meef fhe requiremenfs of IS: ZZb0 ond shoII
be prepored by mixing cemenf ond sond by voIume. Proporfion of
cemenf ond sond shoII be I:o (one porf of cemenf ond six porf of
sond) or os specified. The sond being used shoII be sieved before
use. The morfor shoII be used os soon os possibIe offer mixing ond
before if hos begun fo sef ond in ony cose wifhin inifioI seffing
