Abstract For conservation interventions of historic masonry generally lime-based mortars such as pure air lime mortars, lime-pozzolan natural hydraulic and ternary (lime-pozzolan-cement) are used. The main reason is that their hygric mechanical (strength ductility) performance easy to adapt most existing (compatibility requirements). Although the basic appropriateness for restoration undisputed, there also some limitations in application these mortars. In this report a review given...
Earthen plastering mortars are becoming recognized as highly eco-efficient. The assessment of their technical properties needs to be standardized, but only a German standard exists for the moment. An extended experimental campaign was developed in order assess multiple ready-mixed earth mortar and also increase scientific knowledge influence test procedures on those properties. showed that some aspects related equipment, type samples, sample preparation can very important; although others...
Earthen building materials bear interesting environmental advantages and are the most appropriate to conserve historical earth constructions. To improve mechanical properties, these often stabilized with cement or lime, but impact of stabilizers on water transport which also critical, has been very rarely evaluated. The researchers have tested four earth-based repair mortars applied three distinct representative rammed surfaces. Three based collected from buildings in south Portugal fourth...
Earth-based mortars have been used all over the world since ancient times in an extensive range of building types from vernacular architecture to monuments. Plastering is one most common contemporary applications earth-based for earthen-building conservation or modern architecture. Raw earth a very diverse natural material, and clay minerals play key role plaster properties being responsible their setting process providing capacity balancing indoor hygrometric conditions buildings.
