Original Abstract

One of the main tasks related to building structures is to protect people and property from the adverse effects of water and moisture. However, quite a great part of construction materials used for constructing of external cladding tends to be absorbent in nature, while excessive moisture leads to the degradation of the material s characteristics and its durability. The socle part of the building structure is stressed from spraying off of precipitation moisture and often also partially due to the moisture penetrating from the subsoil when horizontal water insulation has been poorly carried out or when the insulation is damaged. Another problem is moisture entering the structure during construction, which means before roofing the structure and before application of finishing treatment. This paper deals with the possibilities of a hydrophobisation process of masonry blocks for socle masonry constructions using silicone based hydrophobic preparations.

Keywords
