Abstract :Mortars can be exposed to environmental factors and deformations can be observed in the structure after this circumstance. It is thought that using inorganic metal may handle these deformations which harm physical and structural properties. In the present study, cement mortars were produced using different types of metals ((Tin (Sn), Zinc (Zn)) to overcome the abovementioned problem. Then, the physical (flowability, UPV), chemical (FTIR), mechanical (compressive and flexural), morphological (SEM-EDX), and antibacterial properties have been investigated. At the end of the study, minor shifts were seen in the Si-O symmetric stretching due to alteration of the C/S ratio. Metals enabled higher mechanical properties by dispersing homogeneously in the matrix. UPV values increased because of metal’s conductivity property whereas those metals make it decrease flowability. Also, cement mortar having Zn revealed a higher efficiency against P. aeruginosa ATCC 2785. It is thought that the study will contribute significantly to the literature and the industry.Keywords : İnorganik metal, çimento harcı, antibakteriyel, mekanik özellikler
