Integrated cement-based sensors offer an economic alternative to extrinsic for health monitoring applications in concrete structures due their high strength cost ratio, geometrical versatility, low shrinkage, and natural compatibility. Nonetheless, performance under in-service conditions were lack of investigations. While the piezoresistivity (change resistance with stress) has been commonly used mechanical sensing, piezopermittivity capacitive reactance is rarely characterized. Exploiting...
Degradation of hydrated lime mortars subjected to freezing and thawing is common in historic building conservation. The pozzolanic additions, Argical M1000, diatomite (diatomaceous earth) brick dust, were evaluated for their ability improve performance up 720 days. Pozzolanic reactions influenced the pore structure evolution, mechanical performance, chemical reactivity mortar matrix. Argical-lime exhibited a sudden failure, while gradual reduction strength was observed containing dust. A...
Abstract The impact of dewatering on lime mortars modified using brick dust was studied, as it is particular importance in conservation applications. Dewatering takes place when freshly mixed come into contact with a porous substrate, such or stone, during site construction. Since the process between mortar and its substrate can modify properties, understanding enables pozzolan-modified hydrated to be optimised for masonry units being bonded. Evaluation water transport kinetics dust—hydrated...
The physical and chemical interactions between the lime pozzolans in conservation mortars are fundamental to sustainable building practices. Here, we report experimental investigations on pure air mortar, lime-isparta tuff lime-banahmeta mortar. Isparta Tuff is formed from volcanic rocks found Southwest Burdur city centres Anatolia, belonging Gölcük volcanism. microstructural physiochemical of these mixed designs were investigated. Importantly, this study quantifies critical performance...
Abstract This study analyses and compares around 650 years of mosaic mortar production spanning the Roman, late Roman Umayyad periods, at Gerasa/Jerash in Jordan, offering a better understanding composition, structural features, manufacturing processes. It assesses value optical electron microscopy examination morphological textural pore structure using MIP, composition studies EDX, XRD, FTIR, TGA, Raman spectroscopy. The indicated high density lime adhesive was used compared to other...
