Experimental Study of the Damp Mechanism on the Masonry Mortar between Lime and Cement

Article Preview

Abstract:

The material moisture affects directly the appearance of the building construction and the performance of interior micro climate environment. In this study, it was discussed the damp and efflorescence disease mechanism of masonry construction through Lab experiments. It was taken the results of the difference with the mortar between lime and cement, which will cause the different damp diseases.
