The water ingress characteristics of stressed masonry. (1999)
Thesis
Tait, C. J. The water ingress characteristics of stressed masonry. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/3672

Water ingress, usually by wind-driven rain, is the main cause of premature deterioration in masonry structures. Water acts as a transport mechanism for aggressive chemicals and can also undergo freeze/thaw cycles leading to bursting of the masonry...
