This book is a study of brick and mortar research technologies. Topics include the corrosion and environmental aspects of cements and reinforced concrete; in-plane behaviour of CRFP retrofitted masonry; high temperature effects on masonry materials; raman spectroscopic characterization of brick and mortars; preparation of coloured facing brick from low melting clay under a water vapor atmosphere; negative effects of the use of white portland cement as an additive to aerial lime mortars; the anti-corrosive behaviour of four different types of organic coatings; the modelling of brick-mortar interface; and ultrasonic characterization of mortar using micromechanical and multiple scattering models.
