A damp course for house and buildings to prevent rising moisture and water up the walls is produced by laying in the first course above the foundation plinth a layer of silicified bricks. A silicification of the outside surfaces and of the inside is obtained by placing the bricks in a soln...
In places where the damp is not excessive, special bricks with water absorption not less than 4% of their weight may be used as DPC. These bricks are placed in cement mortar in two to four strokes, and the brick joints are maintained open. ...

Gaps may be left between the beams 15 at the corners of the building for drainage eg in a stable. Brick shaped units may alternatively be used. A timber framed building is preferably attached to timber studding 18 bolted 19 onto the top of the beams 11. A conventional damp-proof course ...
damp-proof injection carried out, we have found alternative damp treatment solutions. By carrying out basic remedial repairs to a house such as lowering the external ground level to below the damp-proof course, and installing additional sub-floor air bricks, the “wick effect” has been reduced...
This involves cutting in a layer of damp-proof material to form a barrier which is continuous with the damp-proof membrane under the floor. As the wall above this barrier will remain damp for some time, it is then necessary to isolate all vulnerable materials above as well as below the ...
To equalise the drying rate of damp bricks etc. the gaps around the row of bricks and the walls of the drying chamber are calculated so that the drying air flow speed in all sectors of the chamber is made equal to the slowest flow in any one sector.RUDOLF PELS-LEUSDEN DIPL-ING...
