Title

An Experimental Study to Address the Issues of Low Durability and Low Compressive Strength of Mud Plaster

Abstract

Mud based plasters are completely compatible with traditional materials and building techniques. Today with low- cost mass housing as a priority, the need for plastering materials which are efficient and economical has awakened a new interest in green materials like mud. The only drawback is the limited durability of the material against the aggressive action exerted by external agents as a result of which the use of mud plasters has declined over the years. To improve the durability and strength characteristics of mud plaster, our team has proposed the use of certain additives like shellac, jute and white clay to be used in various percentages. Samples with and without a coating of shellac were prepared and subjected to jet impingement, sample disintegration and unconfined compressive strength tests. The addition of 5% jute and 5% shellac to modified mud plaster together yielded remarkable results and has thereby been proposed as an alternative to the conventional mud plaster reinforced with straw. A keen observation of results indicated that the rate of erosion of conventional straw plaster was much higher as compared to that of the improved plaster. Also, the compressive strength for the modified plaster was 13.08% higher than the conventional plaster. The straw plaster disintegrated at a much faster rate in comparison to the improved plaster. The coated samples reflected a marked improvement in comparison to their uncoated counterparts. So, we as a team also suggest that an application of a coating of shellac over existing mud plastered surfaces could serve as an effective measure in enhancing the durability characteristics.
