Abstract
Black gram, used as binder in mortar and plaster in ancient time in India, was mixed in cement mortar, structural ligthweight aggregate concrete and normal concrete. Air entrainment, adhesiveness and hydrophobic properties it imparted to cement mortar and concretes were tested. It is seen that it worked like air entraining agent, has improved the adhesiveness and hydrophobicity of cement mortar and concrete. Addition of oil along with black gram worked as a defoaming agent and has substantially improved the hydrophobic property of cement mortar and concrete.
