A muzzle-loading, indirect fire weapon with either a rifled or smooth bore. It usually has a shorter range than a howitzer, employs a higher angle of fire, and has a tube with a length of 10 to 20 calibers. See also gun; howitzer. JP-1-02
The material which fills the gaps between the stones or bricks in a masonry wall and binds them together Its principal ingredients are usually aggregate (eg gritty sand) and a binder (eg lime putty) in the ratio of three to one, with small proportions of other additives (eg brick dust) as required
bricks and mortar: see brick. Short-range artillery piece with a short barrel and low muzzle velocity that fires an explosive projectile in a high-arched trajectory. Large mortars were used against fortifications and in siege operations from medieval times through World War I. Since 1915, small portable models have been standard infantry weapons, especially for mountain or trench warfare. Medium mortars, with a caliber of about 3-4 in. (70-90 mm), a range of up to about 2.5 mi (4 km), and a bomb weight of up to 11 lbs (5 kg), are now widely used. Material used in building construction to bond brick, stone, tile, or concrete blocks into a structure. The ancient Romans are credited with its invention. Mortar consists of sand mixed with cement and water. The resulting substance must be sufficiently flexible to flow slightly but not collapse under the weight of the masonry units. Before the 19th-century invention of portland cement, masons used thin joints of lime mortar, which required greater precision than the thicker joints of portland-cement mortar and were not as strong. For tilework, a very thin mortar called grout is used. Pointing is the process of finishing a masonry joint
a short cannon used to fire projectiles with low muzzle velocities at high angles The trench mortar is an infantry weapon, the larger mortars are used by both infantry and field artillery
a mixture of cementing material with fine aggregate and water Mortar is used to bed and bind quarried stones, bricks, or other solid materials together or to produce a plastic coating on such constructions This coating is also termed floated or surface face, mortar coat, mortar finish, or parapet
A mixture of cement paste and fine aggregate; in fresh concrete, the material occupying the interstices among particles of coarse aggregate; in masonry construction, mortar may contain masonry cement, or may contain hydraulic cement with lime (and possibly other admixtures) to afford greater plasticity and workability than are attainable with standard hydraulic cement mortar
Military A muzzle-loading, indirect fire weapon with either a rifled or smooth bore. It usually has a shorter range than a howitzer, employs a higher angle of fire, and has a tube with a length of 10 to 20 calibers. See also gun; howitzer. JP-1-02
A building material made by mixing lime, cement, or plaster of Paris, with sand, water, and sometimes other materials; used in masonry for joining stones, bricks, etc
a muzzle-loading high-angle gun with a short barrel that fires shells at high elevations for a short range a bowl-shaped vessel in which substances can be ground and mixed with a pestle used as a bond in masonry or for covering a wall plaster with mortar; "mortar the wall
A stone or wooden bowl-like artifact in which seeds, berries, meat, and other products are ground or pulverized with a pestle Mortars occur in bedrock outcrops or as portable items (Moratto 1984: 592)
Mortier à la chaux A mixture of sand, water, and lime used to bind stones together permanently The lime mortar retained its flexibility and so resisted the shocks of battering
A plastic mixture of cementitious materials, fine aggregate and water See ASTM Specifications C270, C476 Fat Mortar Mortar containing a high percentage of cementitious components High-Bond Mortar Mortar which develops higher bond strengths with masonry units than normally developed with conventional mortar Lean Mortar Mortar which is deficient in cementitious components
A high angle crew served weapon that fired exploding rounds of various sizes U S mortars used in Vietnam were 60mm, 81mm, and 4 2 inch, called a "four duece " NVA used 60mm, 82mm, and 140mm mortars
