Which outcome results in historical brick masonry when mortar carbonation is excessively delayed?

💡 Explanation

Extensive efflorescence can form because the delayed mortar setting produces continuous dissolving/re-precipitating of soluble salts, a process named dissolution-precipitation mechanism, drawing salts to surface. Therefore, efflorescence increases rather than faster setting, preventing full curing or increasing strength.
