| Summary: | The present paper deals with modifying composition of plastering mortar for the purpose of enhancing fire resistance of building structures by means of silicate additives. Interaction of soluble water glass with cement binder elongates the initiation of setting time and reduces the time of final setting that could be explained by the opposed action of each component. One of the components facilitates the increase in the mobility of the mortar while the other, as opposed, is fastening rapidly. The optimum choice of the mixing ratio in the mortar would enhance both physical-mechanical and thermal properties. |
