Which Material Directly applied in Masonry.
Explain how sampling and testing of masonry are done according to the ASTM standards.
One of the ASTM Designation for testing the quality of Masonry Units is ASTM C140. One of the purpose of this standard testing method is to test and determine the absorption of the Concrete hollow block. How do you conduct the testing and determine the absorption of CHB?
