Popis: Masonry buildings are subjected to much more strenuous conditions in the harsh Nordic climate than in milder environments. For this reason, in the past the climate‐dictated limitations of and prerequisites for the use of mortar as a binding medium demanded some knowledge of the materials employed in masonry buildings. Consequently, our understanding of the technical quality and physical chemical properties of mortars can provide valuable information about the technical level of work in the building and rebuilding phases of old masonry structures.
