G.T. SUTER, M.L. THOMSON AND L. FONTAINE

ABSTRACT

Over the past five years, a number of laboratory studies have been carried out to help define practical and durable mortars for the conservation of Canadian historic masonry assets. This paper provides an overview of the work performed on mechanical properties and specifically on the bond capacity between various mortars and masonry units.
