26288. Efflorescence is caused if-. [MOD-20]
the alkaline salt is present in the bricks
the clay used for making bricks contain pyrite
the water used for pugging the clay contain gypsum
all of the above
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Three factors must be present wherever efflorescence appears: A soluble salt: A variety of salts and salt-forming chemicals can be present in masonry. Water: Moisture is the vehicle that carries the salt 10 the surface of the masonry. Channels: Concrete and bricks have microscopic pores. These tiny channels allow water to move by wicking action.
