Experimental Testing of Hydroinsulating Injection Screens

Abstract:

One of the most widespread method of redevelopment of wet masonry is additional creating of hydroinsulating screen in the material. This method has many advantages. The biggest advantage is fact, that building can be repaired from inside without damaging its statics and saving it from being demolished, thus sparing the environment. In comparison to other procedures its application is quick, easy and has excellent final efficiency. Main object of this article is testing of application and total functionality of individual screens in masonry.
