What is Impact of Water Content on Masonry Strength about?
1) The document investigates how varying the water content of different types of mortar affects the compressive, flexural, and bond strength of brick masonry. 2) Mortars made with natural hydraulic limes, hydrated lime, and cement-lime were tested with two different water contents corresponding to initial flows of 165mm and 170mm. 3) Increasing the water content generally improved the strength and stiffness of masonry made with cement-lime and natural hydraulic lime mortars, but adversely affected masonr
