Indonesia ABSTRACT Keywords: cement mortar compressive strength UPV This paper examines the correlation between compressive strength, porosity, and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) in mortar. The research was conducted at the Yogyakarta State University Building Materials Laboratory. The research was an experimental method. mortar was made with variations in the ratio of cement and fine aggregate 1:3. 1:4. 1:5. 1:6, and 1:7 with a phase of 0,48Aithe manufacture of test objects in the form of a cube measuring 5x5x5 cm. Tests were carried out at 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days with three samples per test age. The data was processed by a quantitative descriptive method to determine the relationship between the variables, especially the relationship between ultrasonic pulse velocity and compressive strength, as well as its relationship with the porosity value. The results of compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity are directly proportional to the age of the test. With the results of the compressive strength at 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, and 1:7 variants, respectively, 31. 12 MPa, 19. 83 MPa, 12. 25 MPa, 38 MPa, and 3. 89 MPa and ultrasonic pulse velocity of 3827. 67 m/s, 3641. 7 m/s, 3561. 3 m/s, 0 m/s, and 1691. 0 m/s. Then the porosity values are 11. 12%, 12. 88%, 16. 36%, 17. The compressive strength has a correlation that is directly proportional to the logarithmic ultrasonic pulse velocity. The higher the value of the compressive strength, the higher the UPV value, and inversely proportional to the porosity value as well as the speed of the wave propagation, which is inversely proportional to the porosity value. The higher the porosity value, the lower the compressive strength value and the UPV value. This is an open access article under the CCAeBY license. Introduction Walls have a vital role as shaper building. Wall is a barrier space in a horizontal direction that separates rooms by function . In Indonesia, many materials are used as Wall covers, brick, adobe, and brick light. Element masonry uses mortar as the adhesive. the Wall will usually be coated again with stucco, so those who also use mortar, mortar obtained from cement mix, aggregate smooth, and also water. Wall could experience damage if it does. Wall is not durable or fast damaged. Among other things is Wall wet, damp and mottled . So, from that needed possible solution resolve * Corresponding author.

Besides the ratio mixture, mortar quality is also affected by the proportion of water to cement. The proportion of water to cement is significant, and for the cement to react, it only takes 25-30% of the water from the cement weight . Generally, the mark water-cement factor (FAS) used in practice making regular concrete usually uses a cement water factor of at least 0. 4 and a maximum of 0. To know quality, elements in buildings must be tested with Destructive Test and Non-Destructive Test INERSIA. Vol. 18, no. December 2022 Maris Setyo Nugroho Non-Destructive Test (NDT) is testing without damaging an object in a manner that contacts direct, testing with a method this capable of knowing the condition, quality, and durability of something object without ruining it mainly first. One Non-Destructive Test testing can be done with Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV). Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) is a method of testing many Non-Destructive Tests used in inspection testing on project construction besides using the hammer Method UPV testing is frequently used to detect internal cracks and defects other, including changes in concrete like declining quality concrete consequence environment aggressive chemicals or freezing and thawing .

Strong results press from concrete is significantly influenced by the constituent materials, several factors primarily influence compressive strength concrete that is character aggregate . tiffness, hardness and densit. , maximum diameter aggregate, gradation, water-cement factor, and quality artistry . ixing and compaction process is, good will produce concrete with minimal rate Study this using five variations of different mixes reviewed from ratio mixture between cement and aggregate smooth. Five variants of the shared Become ratio, a mix of 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, and 1:7. Tests performed include a robust test press and ultrasonic pulse velocity on age testing 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days as well as testing porosity and tensile split at 28 days. UPV equipment is tool tester characteristic concrete nondestructive (NDT). Principle method work UPV tools deliver vibration longitudinal waves through fluid or some kind of gel already smeared on the surface concrete before test . later energy wave electricity generated by generators the sending transducer pulse (T) becomes energy wave next mechanic propagate on the concrete material after pass wave the displayed time travel in digital form. Then natural its use UPV equipment has 3 tests among them method indirect , semi direct , and direct . , as shown in Figure 2. Figure 3 and Figure 4 .

And in the 1: 6 and 1: 7 variants decline enough significance from the results testing the highest variant on test 28 days old. Following is the chart correlation Among ultrasonic pulse velocity with compressive strength: Testing compressive strength concrete was performed at ages 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28. The total sample for compressive strength is as many as 15 samples, with three samples used _ for each testing compressive Test results compressive strength can be seen in Table 6 as follows: Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity .

Based on the results of table testing the results compressive strength that you always get experience increases with each increase in age testing. That could look at variants increased mortar testing each age testing from 3 days old until 28 days old. However, there are many variants of compressive strength. The average obtained rather occurs decline matter caused by one suspected sample not enough good or no equally When mixing matter, the make strong hit the average on some variant experience decline with age longer test.
