Information Paper 10/93 Avoiding latent mortar defects in masonry
Publication Year
1993
Document Status
Current
Abstract
Mortar defects in masonry fall into two categories: those that are visually obvious at the time of construction, and latent built-in defects which only come to light if the masonry is subjected to unduly onerous conditions. Various means of reducing the number of latent defects are suggested in this paper, which will be of interest to builders and contractors.
