Mortar, a mixture of Portland cement, an aggregate or sand, and lime and water in certain combinations, is used to bind masonry units, such as brick, block or stone, together. Type K mortar is used for non-bearing and decorative masonry due to it's low compressive and bond strength. Type M mortar is used for reinforced brick masonry and below grade usage, such as with foundations, where it comes in contact with soil. Type N mortar, waterproof and medium in strength, it's used in chimneys, etc., where it is exposed to the elements. Type O mortar is used with non-bearing interior walls or with only limited exposure to the elements due to its medium low compressive strength. Type S mortar, with its high lengthwise bond strength and medium-high compressive strength, is used for stucco, walkways, below grade or in loadbearing situations.
(1) A mixture of cementitious materials, fine aggregate water, with or without admixtures, used to construct unit masonry assemblages. (2) The hardened equivalent of such mixtures.

Mortar is a material used in masonry to fill the gaps between blocks in construction. The blocks may be stone, brick, breeze blocks (cinder blocks), etc. Mortar is a mixture of sand, a binder such as cement or lime, and water and is applied as a paste which then sets hard.

A tube plugged at one end from which fireworks devices are fired.
Mortars are cannon suitable only for the high-angle fire of shells. Their primary function was to drop a shell or bomb behind earthworks or other defenses which could not be penetrated with gun fire. Mortars fired hollow iron spheres or shells filled with small shot, balls or similar anti-personnel devices combined with a small charge of powder which was ignited by a time fuse designed to explode just as it reached the target. The usual length of a mortar was 3 or 4 calibers and the trunnions were located at the rear of the breech. Described by diameter of shell; 4 and 1/2 inch, 5 and 2/5 inch, 10 inch, 13 inch, etc.

Mortars are among the oldest forms of artillery, and they had not changed much by the advent of the Civil War. Classified by bore size, 5.8-in., 8, 10, and 13 in., they threw a "bomb" or fused shell in a high arc over enemy walls and fortifications and sometimes lobbed shells over the heads of friendly troops as they charged the enemy. The coehorn mortar, among the smallest, had a 4.5-in. bore. Made of iron, mounted on heavy wood and iron beds, mortars were usually intended for siege and garrison work.
An extremely short-barreled, large-calibered piece of artillery, usually mounted on a heavy oaken base, so trunnioned that it can shoot very high. Used to hurl shells along a high trajectory and down into fortified positions.
A short range ordnance piece used to shell enemy positions in saturation attacks.
Used to launch Aerial Shells. Range in sizes from 1.75" to 16".
a muzzle-loading cannon with a short tube in relation to its caliber that throws projectiles with low muzzle velocity at high angles.
A mortar is a muzzle-loading indirect fire weapon that fires indirect shells at low velocities, short ranges, and high-arcing ballistic trajectories, typically with a barrel length less than 15 times its caliber. These attributes contrast with the mortar's larger siblings, rifled howitzers and field guns, which fire at higher velocities, longer ranges, and flatter arcs (direct fire). Typically a modern mortar consists of a tube into which is dropped a mortar shell onto a firing pin resulting in the detonation of the propellant and the firing of the shell.
Firestop mortars are most typically used to firestop large openings in walls and floors required to have a fire-resistance rating. They are passive fire protection items subject to stringent bounding. Firestop mortars most often exhibit densities near 1kg/L.
