Abstract: The mechanisms involved in the bonding of brick and mortar include microstructural processes. These processes can be studied by analyzing digital computer microscopy images of brick and mortar specimens both qualitatively ...

Abstract: A building materials durability model (BMDM), developed in earlier work, is a framework that encompasses environmental stimuli, material damage relationships, performance criteria, and repair decision making to produce ...

Abstract: A building materials durability model has been developed using a framework that encompasses environmental stimuli, material degradation, structural performance criteria, and maintenance strategies. The model takes a global ...
