The effect of unit water absorption on long-term movements of masonry
Long-term movements in masonry can be predicted by composite modelling, however, the accuracy of prediction is reduced if the unbonded brick and mortar phases do not reflect the behaviour of the bonded components. It is apparent that the water absorbed by the unit soon after laying produces changes...
