Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of the microstructure of lime based mortars and influence on the mechanical behaviour: The role of the aggregates
TL;DR: In this article, the pore structure of air lime mortars, formulated with aggregates of different mineralogy and grain size distribution, was evaluated with the aim of studying the influence of sand type on the microstructural modification over time and of establishing the relationship between these modifications and the mechanical behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of biomass fly ash for mitigation of alkali-silica reaction of cement mortars.
T.C. Esteves,Rejini Rajamma,D. Soares,António Santos Silva,Victor M. Ferreira,João A. Labrincha +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of fly ashes from biomass combustion in the mitigation of the alkali-silica reaction (ASR) was investigated, where the fly ashes were collected from two industrial plants located in the central area of Portugal: a thermal power plant and a co-generation process of a pulp and paper industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-analytical identification of pigments and pigment mixtures used in 17th century Portuguese azulejos
Susana Coentro,João Manuel Mimoso,Augusta Lima,António Santos Silva,Alexandre N. Pais,Vânia S. F. Muralha +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-analytical approach was used to study the pictorial layers of a set of 17th century historic glazed tiles (azulejos) of Portuguese manufacture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding the transport of nanolime consolidants within Maastricht limestone
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the transport mechanism of nanolimes in porous materials, such as stone or renders, and showed that nanolime transport is strictly related to the properties of the solvent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pozzolanic activity of metakaolins by the french standard of the modified chapelle test: a direct methodology
TL;DR: In this article, the modified Chapelle test was used to evaluate the pozzolanic activity of metakaolins produced at different levels of O(O(n) and O(n 2 ).
