Lime-mortars to be used in restoration works of Cultural Heritage are being more and more studied. The knowledge on the lime-pastes allows understanding the behaviour of the binder fraction. The aim of this work is to study the influence of the kneading water on two critical aspects of the lime-pastes: pore structure and capillary porosity,...

One hundred eighty different mortars made with a natural hydraulic lime (NHL) and different kinds of aggregates were prepared to be used in restoration works. The factors affecting the mechanical behavior have been studied at long-term test. Compressive and flexural strengths of the specimens were discussed according to curing time,...

180 different mortars made with a dolomitic lime and different aggregates were prepared in order to be used in restoration works. This paper focuses on the effect of technological variables on pore structure and mechanical properties of magnesian lime-based mortars. Compressive and flexural strengths of the specimens were discussed according to...
