This article examined the effect of a bioproduct suspension obtained from fermentation biodiesel’s crude glycerol when used to formulate natural hydraulic lime mortars, as fluid replacing mixing water. The was either sonicated or non-sonicated and two volumes were tested. aim assess advantages drawbacks that could be achieved with waste-based bioproduct, instead petrochemical-based additions. i...

This paper aims to propose and characterize a sustainable hydraulic mortar entirely obtained by the reuse of waste materials, with marble slurry coming from quarries in north-western Sicily glass powder collection plant Marsala (Province Trapani). The first was used as raw material produce binder kilning slaking process, while second pozzolanic additive. chemical morphological characterization ...

In the present study, efficiency of five different carbonation and/or water curing conditions on properties belite-rich cement mortar and ordinary Portland was investigated. The hybrid samples carried out by submerging at levels in or a lime-saturated solution kept under conditions. compressive strength measured to compare physical mortars, X-ray diffraction thermogravimetric analysis results w...

This paper deals with the “modern” plaster mortars based on air lime, hydraulic and cement used between 1950s 1990s of last century, taking, as a case study, historical building Cagliari city whose foundations ground floor are cut into in-situ limestone. Different layers (i.e., arriccio intonachino, paint), applied excavated limestone walls, were collected from cave-room. All samples analysed b...

The paper describes a method of structural repair to damaged elements protected timber houses. Emphasis is laid on minimum intervention in the valuable material that needs be preserved maximum possible extent, especially without larger interventions visible parts. designs will find application situations where it not or appropriate use common building methods, and necessary carefully fill out s...
