Mechanical tests such as compressivestrength test and physical tests such as ultrasonic pulse velocity , bulk density ,apparent porosity and water absorption tests were done to samples after curing innormal water for ( 7 , 28 , 60 , 90 , 180 ) days and then they were exposed tocaustic soda solution (37% concentration) up to six months. Test results showed anoticeable improvement in durability of suggested mortar mixes against such typeof aggressive alkalis solutions.
