| Abstract | During the preliminary program of leakage tests on small panels, there was a significant decrease noted in the moisture content of mortars removed from mortar joints after a three-minute period between two bricks. Leakage test revealed that almost all leaks occurred at the interface between the bottom of the top brick and the top demonstrating that bond strength values were lower for the joint between the same mortar bed and the lower brick. This paper, therefore, records results of a study of moisture content losses from several mortars at various time intervals after contact with bricks of different suction. |
