Statistical models using multiple linear regression are some of the most widely used methods to study the influence of independent variables in a given phenomenon. This study's objective is to understand the influence of the various components of aerogel-based renders on their thermal and mechanical performance, namely cement (three types), fly ash, aerial lime, silica sand, expanded clay, type...

To properly restore masonry cultural heritage sites, the materials used for retrofitting can have a critical effect, and this requires standards traditional Korean brick lime mortar to be examined. This study experimentally investigated material characteristics of bricks two types (quicklime lumps powdered hydrated lime) strength specimens made from those materials. Four different mixing ratios...

The need to formulate mortar compositions with adequate durability and compatibility is nowadays one of the major challenges in historical buildings repair. The incorporation of pozzolanic materials as addition or replacement of lime is viewed as a solution to these challenges regarding the increase in hardening time, mechanical strength, water resistance and durability. This paper includes par...

Protecting the built cultural heritage is one of most important tasks in architectural practice. The process repair time-consuming, weather-dependent, and sensitive to materials applied. Introducing new historic building order decrease time needed for repair, brings some risk preservation process. common material masonry lime mortar. Adding cement mortar can improve mechanical properties speed ...

Lime mortar has been a primary binding material in ancient mortar, and is one of the main reasons behind solid stable constructions that remain even after thousands years. The benefits lime are innumerable: it minimally processed used with lesser carbon footprint embodied energy and, most crucially, absorbent. This research experiments strength properties (compression) at 28, 56, 100 days air c...

Hart, Stephanie, "Characterization and restoration of historic Rosendale cement mortars for the purpose of restoration" (2012). ABSTRACT Mortar was a very common building material in today's historic sites. Before Portland cement was manufactured at a global level, Rosendale cement was commonly used in these mortars. Over time, these mortars in historic sites have begun to break down and wear a...

At present, many of the historic masonry structures in the most important seismic zone of Argentina present damages due to the actions to which they have been subjected. Therefore, it is necessary to study the behavior of walls of ceramic masonry of great thickness. This work presents the comparison between the results obtained from the numerical simulation of ceramic masonry walls subjected to...
