However, improper mortar mix design can significantly reduce structural strength and increase long-term maintenance costs. This paper presents an engineering-based optimization model for mortar mix design used in stone foundation construction. It focuses on balancing cement content, sand grading, water-cement ratio, and admixture usage to achieve maximum strength with minimum cost. Mathematical models for compressive strength prediction, cost optimization, and durability performance are introduced. The study shows that optimized mortar mix design can reduce construction costs by up to 25% while maintaining structural safety standards. The findings are particularly relevant for large-scale residential, villa, and infrastructure projects in tropical regions such as Bali.
