An innovative phosphate-based consolidant for limestone. Part 1: Effectiveness and compatibility in comparison with ethyl silicate

TL;DR: In this paper, an innovative phosphate treatment was investigated as a possible consolidant for limestone and compared with a commercial ethyl silicate (ES) for consolidation of weathered carbonate materials (such as marble, limestone and lime-based mortars).

The Vitruvian legacy: Mortars and binders before and after the Roman world

TL;DR: A brief history of the nature, use and technology of binders in ancient constructions and buildings is outlined in this paper, including the apparent chronological discontinuities related to technological developments, and the role of mineralogy and mineral reactions is emphasized in terms of: (1) the preparation and manufacturing of the binding materials; (2) hardening process and the development of the physical properties of the binder; and (3) the archaeometric reconstruction of the ancient materials.

Experimental Study on the Shear Behavior of the Bonding Interface Between Sandstone and Cement Mortar Under Freeze–Thaw

TL;DR: In this paper, the shear failure characteristics of cement mortar-rock interfaces under freeze-thaw cycles were investigated and a better understanding of the debonding mechanism of protective cement mortar layers on rock surfaces was provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Freeze-thaw durability of repair mortars and porous limestone: compatibility issues

TL;DR: In this paper, the pore size distribution (mercury intrusion porosimetry, MIP) of mortars and stones was measured and the adhesion bond between the stone and the mortar was also observed during the freeze-thaw cycles.

Valorization of crushed bricks in lime-based mortars

TL;DR: In this article, the recycling of brick waste in the Meknes region of Morocco to formulate pozzolanic mortars was investigated and nine different mortars were made using aerial lime, sand and brick dust.

Biodeterioration of stone: a review

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive overview to the biodeterioration of stone and its practical relevance for the conservation is presented. But, the authors do not consider the effects of the microbial contamination on cleaning procedures, protective treatments as well as biocidal applications.

Masonry repair lime-based mortars: factors affecting the mechanical behavior

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of technological variables on pore structure and mechanical properties of lime-based mortars was discussed, including the influence of curing time, binder-aggregate (B/Ag) ratio, aggregate attributes and porosity.

Indicators and ratings for the compatibility assessment of conservation actions

TL;DR: A system of translating the diverse quantifying units or descriptive terms into a uniform system, thus allowing the integration of components that are intrinsically inhomogeneous in nature to be integrated into the overall assessment of compatibility.
