Summary:Masonry structures should be protected from the effects of surrounding atmospheric agents like wind, water etc. Increasing its durability by proper maintenance is also a required aspect. A coating by ferro cement is an adopted technique to protect the masonry walls against detrimental factors which attack it. In this study, different types of masonry walls where tested for compression and their performance was judged to estimate whether the use of ferro cement coatings can be applied on masonry or not to protect them.
