Investigating the Frost Dilatometry Methodology and Critical Degree of Saturation of Brick Slices Versus Half Brick Samples
Catherine Lee
Abstract:<p>This study investigates the susceptibility of clay brick masonry to freeze‐thaw deterioration using the frost dilatometry methodology. Trends between the critical degree of saturation (S<sub>crit</sub>) and varying sizes of clay bricks are examined to see if differences in material composition and pore structure impact the durability classification relative to freeze‐thaw damage. Previous research has investigated the S<sub>crit </sub>for different sized clay brick masonry, how… Show more
