Blended cement-lime mortars for conservation purposes: Microstructure and strength development KU Leuven
Blended lime-cement mortars are commonly used in conservation practices even though they may show lack of adequate strength and durability for certain cement-lime compositions. This paper focuses on understanding the hardening reactions and their influence on the strength development, microstructure and porosity for the cement-lime mortars in various compositions. Mortars composed of 30%, 50% and 70% ce-ment replacement with lime hydrate and ...

Assessing workability of mortars by means of rheological parameters and desorptivity KU Leuven
Assessing the workability of mortars for restoration and more general purposes has been the subject of many standards and scientific publications over the last decades. A series of mortars made with different binders was brought to optimum water content for workability by an international group of masons. Two methods are proposed to assess the static yield stress and water retention of these fresh mortars, two key parameters of workability as ...
