Reviewer 2 Report
The authors have done a lot of experimental test in this study and within the scope of this journal. However, the current form of the paper must be improved since it lacks important information such as in the methodology and discussion aspects. For instance the use of concrete, but the title use mortar. Detailed comments are given in the attachment.
