The industrial production of lime generates greenhouse gases, which contributes to increase the global warming. Therefore, present study evaluated feasibility replacing by ornamental rock waste (ORW) as a by-product related stone industry, and developed cost-effective mortars. These new low-costing mortars are intended fresh fluid paste coatings be applied on walls mechanized projection techniq...

This article presents an experimental study on the hygric performance of brick masonry with a special focus hydraulic characterization brick-mortar interface. The behavior was studied at level constituent materials as well composite scale. An extruded fired-clay and two types mortar –Portland cement natural lime mortar– were chosen target materials. properties determined following prescribed pr...

This article presents the assessment of compressive strength three types lime mortar, one without admixture and remaining two added with metakaolin brick dust. The chemical composition pozzolans was evaluated using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technique. mortars were subjected to curing conditions: humidity temperature-controlled chamber, accelerated carbonation then they tested at ages 7, 28, 60 9...

In this paper, the possibility of improving the global response of asphalt materials for pavement applications through the use of hydrated lime and Electric Arc-Furnace Steel Slag (EAFSS) was investigated. For this purpose, a set of asphalt mortars was prepared by mixing two different asphalt binders with fine granite aggregate together with hydrated lime or EAFSS at three different percentages...

The correct choice of pointing mortar is considered crucial to the conservation historic masonry. A proliferation cement and eminently hydraulic lime mortars since late 19th century has accelerated deterioration built cultural heritage in many parts world. Whilst use softer, lime-based stone now common practice, their role overall strategy highly vulnerable building stones such as Reigate Stone...

This paper provides a continuation of ‘The Characteristics and Properties of Rubbing Bricks used for Gauged Brickwork – Part One’, published by Gerard Lynch and Sara Pavía in the March 2003 issue of the Journal of Architectural Conservation. In this, the authors examined the historical background, raw materials, production methods, use, and weathering characteristics of rubbing bricks. Despite ...

The present work aims to define the mechanical behavior of a new composite material for preservation and enhancement vast historical architectural heritage particularly vulnerable environmental seismic actions. represents novelty in landscape fibrous mortars consists natural hydraulic lime (NHL)-based mortar, strengthened by Sisal short fibers randomly oriented mortar matrix. developed ensures ...
