dc.description.abstractClose to no study has been conducted to identify the possible influential physical and mechanical characteristics of adhered thin masonry units and mortars on the bond strength in adhered thin masonry veneer (ATMV) applications. There have been numerous cases of bond failures in ATMV applications probably due to lack of knowledge and the lack of any standards for the design and installation of ATMV. In the Canadian climate, exposure to extreme weather conditions like very low temperatures and freeze-thaw cycles are common and may be a cause of bond deterioration and failures. Therefore, it is important to study the effects of exposure to extreme weather conditions on the bond strength. This research first measures and evaluates the physical and mechanical properties of thin masonry units and mortars. Then shear and tensile bond strengths are studied considering different age and environmental factors. At least three different ages, two different curing temperatures, three testing temperatures and four cycles of freeze-thaw were considered. Subsequently, any possible relationship between these characteristics and bond strengths were evaluated and proper practices were recommended.en_US
