The use of lime for the construction of buildings and monuments has a long tradition. Therefore, limebased materials are also predominantly used and often even required i [...]

The widespread adoption of alternative binders are playing an increasing role in carbon dioxide (CO 2) abatement in green construction and the repair of traditionally bui [...]

Grouting of historical masonries has been a widely used technique for regaining their integrity or strengthening them. Since cement-based grouts proved very strong and in [...]

This paper presents part of the larger research project focused on developing a material characteristics database in conjunction with a comprehensive set of prescriptive [...]

Natural hydraulic limes were used in ancient times and are still produced nowadays. A comparison of the chemistry and mineralogy of currently available NHL2 and NHL5 lime [...]

This paper aims at improving the quality of lime mortar masonry by understanding the mechanics of mortars and masonry and their interactions. It investigates how the mort [...]

This paper investigates the deterioration of cementitious renders, with reference to the buildings on a World War II Airfield, now the Museum of Flight, in East Lothian, [...]

Lime-pozzolan mortars are often used for the restoration of historical buildings. Several studies have been developed in regards to the use of waste in construction mater [...]

The micro-structural evolution of a lime - pozzolan system, during hydration, was studied by 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). The hydration process was monitored for [...]

This research is related with the salt weathering of the base rocks. At stone monuments and base rocks, slide, freeze damage, biodeterioration, have occured, and especial [...]

The natural pozzolans studied are commercial products and come from the volcanic islands of Milos and Kimolos as well as North Greece mainland. The materials were charact [...]

The development of strength in conservation mortars is of particular significance for new synthesized lime-based mixtures, in terms of practical application, performance [...]

This study aims to investigate the effect of sulfate salts to the deterioration mechanism and patterns observed in hydraulic mortars. Natural hydraulic lime (NHL) and lim [...]
