The relationship between compressive strength and sonic velocity depending on moisture content in case of historical masonry

Historical masonry structures made from locally available materials such as stone, brick, and mud are an integral part of our cultural identity. Moisture content is a critical environmental factor that can significantly impact the durability strength these structures. ingress in cause detrimental effects decreased strength, increased porosity, reduced bond between mortar units. Understanding this relationship crucial for developing effective conservation strategies maintenance decisions help protect moisture-related damage. This paper explores moisture on compressive historical highlights factors affect relationship.
