Abstract |
The moisture transport in mortar and laterite block masonry is an important study to decide the strength of mortar joints and masonry. Water transport phenomenon can be studied for laterite block masonry and other similar blocks used in constructions. Water transport between the laterite block selected from the quarry which satisfies all the requirements and also three different types of cement mortars have been investigated in detail. Rate of moisture absorption of laterite blocks for different duration of time also has been studied to satisfy the Indian standard requirements |
