Resumen
The procedure is designed to determine, from the point of view of the water/mortar dosage, the causes of defects and deficiencies observed after the development of monolayer mortars and their subsequent application, making it possible to carry out the determination of the culpability of the observed failures, either by the manufacturers (defective products in origin) or by the applicators (poor preparation and/or application). The procedure itself is based on the determination of a fundamental parameter for the quality of the applied monolayer mortar, which corresponds to the water/dry mortar ratio that is generally used in the alleged work, the procedure being carried out by carrying out the extraction of some samples of mortar and on them obtain the density/porosity; absorption coefficient; ultrasonic velocity and young's modulus.
