A COMPARISON OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GROUTING METHODS, PENETRATION AND SURFACE APPLICATION OF GELS IN INCREASING THE STRENGTH OF HISTORIC MASONRY

Abstract

This article focuses on the verification of the effect of selected grouting agents on historic brick masonry with different degrees of weathering using different techniques of grouting application. The effectiveness of grouting was verified by changes in the masonry strength. Experimental research also verified the effectiveness of the penetration of grouting agents as bonding primers on the surface of selected materials often found in historic buildings.
