Fig. 8From: Drying response of lime-mortar joints in granite masonry after an intense rainfall and after repointingComparison of detailed material differences. a Wall 1 (control) with wall 2 show the effect of using quicklime, b wall 2 and 5 illustrate the difference when wood ash is used (wall 5 being the same mix as wall 2 but containing wood ash), and c wall 3 and wall 4 show the differences between quartz (wall 3) and calcitic aggregates (wall 4). Error bars indicate the first and last quartile and dashed lines show the effect of high RH due to natural rain. Linear regression was calculated on the straight drying slope, corresponding to stage II drying. The x-axis represents different time intervalsBack to article page
