Abstract

Cement Mortar is the primary component of cementitious composites. Therefore, it has almost
importance for concrete structures. Cement mortar rendering is usually used as a protective layer for
most structural elements. The properties of cement mortar incorporating nano titanium were
experimentally studied. Nano titanium is a very fine material, which plays a vital role in filling the
pores between crystals. This property can lead to better mechanical and physical properties of
cement mortar. The experimental results show that compressive and flexural strength gain of
cement mortar improves until the added nano titanium reaches 1% of cement weight by 27% and 6
% respectively. Furthermore, porosity of cement mortar incorporating 1% nano titanium climbs to
improvement level of 30% over plain samples. In addition, the results show an increase in the
specimen's density by 5%, over control samples.
