Despite the widespread use of brick construction throughout the
world, there has been no major investigation into its deterioration
and durability. This book provides the results of a major
international study led by West Germany which examines the causes
of decay in addition to the treatment and methods of conserving
brickwork and historic mortars. The deterioration mechanisms
discussed cover bio deterioration, salt damage and the effects of
air pollutants and moisture on masonry. Considerable attention is
also devoted to historic mortars and renders, their analysis,
behaviour under the stress of air pollution and the development of
compatible modern formulations. Conservation methods for brick
masonry, including de-salination, protective coatings and injection
grouting are examined in detail. A useful and extensive range of
case study material is also provided. This volume represents the
most comprehensive, state of the art overview of the conservation
of historic brick masonry, and will be an invaluable source of
reference for all conservation practitioners and researchers
working in this field.
