In recent years, experimental study on non-load-bearing walls has been incremented. In the light of these studies, knowledge on the mechanical properties of construction materials used as binders is rapidly growing. Prior to wall construction, different kinds of binding materials could be chosen with respect to usage objectives and availability. In this study, the most widely used construction materials, namely,cement-lime mortar, gypsum mortar, and specially designed chemical brick adhesive, were chosen. Cylinder specimens using the mentioned construction materials were tested to evaluate their tensile strength. For each type of construction material, three identical specimens were produced. This experimental study is compiled from the data collected from a total of nine specimens. Tests were done according to ASTM standard C496-17 standard. During the tests, vertical displacement, vertical and horizontal strain readings, and applied load readings were collected. As a result, whatever the material was, all has yielded approximately the same tensile strength.
