[PAR] [TLE] Mortar (masonry) [SEP] Mortar is a workable paste used to bind building blocks such as stones, bricks, and concrete masonry units together, fill and seal the irregular gaps between them, and sometimes add decorative colors or patterns in masonry walls.  In its broadest sense mortar includes pitch, asphalt, and soft mud or clay, such as used between mud bricks.  "Mortar" comes from Latin "mortarium" meaning crushed. [PAR] [TLE] Sandcrete [SEP] Sandcrete is a yellow-white building material made from a binder (typically Portland cement), sand in a ratio of circa 1:8, and water.  Sometimes other ingredients may be added to reduce the amount of expensive Portland cement such as pozzolanas and rice husk ash.  Sandcrete is similar but weaker than mortar, for which the ratio is circa 1:5. " Soil cement" and "landcrete" are similar materials but use other types of soil and hydraform blocks which are compressed, stabilized, earth blocks.
