Mortar deterioration of the masonry walls in historic buildings. A case history: Vanvitelli's Mole in Ancona
Abstract The utilization of data from advanced techniques, such as enhanced pattern treatment of x-ray diffraction analysis, combined with data from historical sources as well as environmental information, has been applied to diagnose the complex deterioration mechanism of a historic construction. A case history is provided dealing with a famous Italian construction in Ancona designed and erected by the Neapolitan architect Luigi Vanvitelli during 1733–1743, where both jointing and rendering mortars deteriorated very seriously. It has been found that the original lime-pozzolan mortar deteriorated due to physical events (rain water leaching, thermal changes, freezing-thawing, etc.), whereas Portland cement mortars, used to repair damaged walls, deteriorated by chemical sulfate attack.
