Intent 1:
To limit the probability of inadequate curing conditions,
which could lead to a weak mortar-to-masonry bond or an inadequate
resistance to freeze-thaw stresses.
This is to
limit the probability of compromised structural integrity, which could
lead to:
- structural failure of masonry construction,
- where masonry construction is part of an environmental
separator, the excessive deformation, displacement or failure of required
environmental separation elements, which could lead to deterioration,
which could lead to further compromised structural integrity, or
- in assemblies exposed to moisture or the exterior, damage
and deterioration, which could lead to further compromised structural
integrity.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
