Mix-Design and Application of Hydraulic Grouts for Masonry Strengthening

Mix-Design and Application of Hydraulic Grouts for Masonry Strengthening by Androniki Miltiadou-Fezans
English | PDF | 2022 | 300 Pages | ISBN : 3030859649 | 11.2 MB

This book provides guidance for the rational design and application of hydraulic grouts, based on a series of specific data (type of masonry, voids' width, targeted strength and durability level, available materials, etc.). To this end, the basic characteristics of a grout, i.e. its injectability (penetrability, fluidity and stability), its strength and durability, are taken into account by means of rational models and quantified expressions of all grout-design parameters. Thus, a holistic, rational mix design methodology for optimization of grout composition is given, permitting the preliminary design of grouts, without having to resort to multiple tests in advance. Moreover, detailed practical guidelines for grouting application and quality control, based on real case studies, are also included. The book attempts to rationalize the entire procedure of this poly-parametric decision-making, keeping however in mind the need for practical engineering solutions.

Interface Influence on Moisture Transport in Building Components: The Wetting Process by João M. P. Q. Delgado
English | EPUB | 2020 | 68 Pages | ISBN : 3030308022 | 16.36 MB

The knowledge of moisture migration inside building materials and construction building components is decisive for the way they behave when in use. The durability, waterproofing, degrading aspect and thermal behaviour of these materials are strongly influenced by the existence of moisture within their interior, which provoke changes in their normal performance, something that is normally hard to predict.
