Design of Unit Masonry for Weather Resistance
Decay, disintegration, or other serious damage has frequently occurred in unit masonry materials on their exposure to the weather, and has often resulted in considerable expense and inconvenience in attempts to remedy the trouble. In the design and construction of masonry buildings, therefore, consideration is necessary not only of structural strength and stability, but also of the durability and weather resistance of the masonry. The task of the designer involves the important problem of selection of masonry units and mortar which, in themselves, will be durable under the conditions of their use, and which also in combination will produce masonry as durable and weather resistant as the components, for it has happened that very serious troubles have arisen in masonry constructed of units and mortars which individually were of high order of durability. Certain features of the design of buildings, as well as the properties of the unit masonry materials used, can greatly influence the weather resistance and durability of the masonry. (Author)
