Jan Chrystian Szucha 17/19. The purpose of the analysis was to characterize and compare the properties of over 120-years-old masonry elements with the properties of currently manufactured products. The analysis included the determination of features, such as: dimensions and shape, absorbability, frost resistance, volumetric density, unit density, porosity and compressive strength. On the basis of the results, the declarations of performance of the tested elements were drawn up in relation to the applicable requirements. ER -
