Water Absorption

The rate and amount at which masonry materials absorb water, typically expressed as a percentage of dry weight or volume. Water absorption affects freeze-thaw resistance, strength, and durability. Materials with high absorption rates may require protective treatments or design considerations to prevent moisture-related deterioration.
