dc.description.abstract |
This study presents most common phenomena observed
on wall facades due to excessive rain in tropical climatic
condition in Sri Lanka. The objective of this study is to understand
the effect surface decay of walling materials. The most
common walling materials such as brick, cement block, earth
cement blocks and novel walling materials mud concrete block,
geopolymer blocks were subjected to this study. Faade covering
materials such as rough cement plaster and cement slurry plaster
were studied.
Intrinsic material properties were studied prior to natural rain
erosion quantification. Basic engineering properties of water
absorption, capillary action, surface roughness, compressive
strength was studied. Material properties such as water absorption,
surface roughness were studied. Ten years of rain was
simulated to measure natural surface decay. The results show
that, stronger materials and less surface rough materials are
resistant to surface decay. Plastering is recommended to protect
walling materials reduce the surface decay. Comparatively
stronger walling materials are less prone to natural rain decay.
Cement plasters and cement slurry plaster covering is the most
suitable materials for heavy rain. Cement slurry plaster is the
most suitable walling covering for rain drop bouncing areas in
outdoor walls in Sri Lanka. |
