Design of Masonry Structures Consider the following statements:1. Masonry in rich cement mortar though having good strength with high shrinkage is much liable for surface cracks.2. Lime mortar possesses poor workability and poor water retentivity and also suffers high shrinkage.3. Masonry in lime mortar has better resistance against rain penetration and is less liable to crack when compared to masonry in cement mortar.Which of these statements are correct? 1, 2 and 3 2 and 3 1 and 2 1 and 3 1, 2 and 3 2 and 3 1 and 2 1 and 3 ANSWER DOWNLOAD EXAMIANS APP
Design of Masonry Structures Consider the following statements: The use of relatively weak mortar1. Will accommodate movements due to loads and, cracking if any, and will be distributed as thin hair cracks which are less noticeable or harmful.2.
