        abstract = {Mortar is a mixture of cement and sand in some specified proportion which is generally used for brick masonry and plastering. In first case of the mortar compressive loads such as the load of the wall above it, therefore it is very much necessary to test the mortar for its compressive strength. Which is typically determined 7 to 28 days after the mortar was prepared and used in construction. This time lag creates problems. This paper discusses the variation of cement mortar compressive strength with time with the help of graphs plotted so that we can know the exact time interval within which the mortar should be used to avoid wastage of materials and avoid the unsuitability of material for the construction work},
