Physicochemical Characterization of Historical Coating Mortars – Case Studies in South Brazil
The intervention process in historical buildings involves the application of a scientific methodology for the materials characterization. In Porto Alegre — RS, Brazil, several buildings with patrimonial value from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were preserved. This study presents the physicochemical analysis of mortar coating samples obtained from two buildings, the commercial and residential building “Frasca House” (1911) and the Metropolitan Curia of Porto Alegre (1888). The visual investigation and aspects of the color and morphology of the samples were determined with a stereoscopic microscope. Chemical analyses provided information on the binder:aggregate proportion and qualitative soluble salts, correlated with deterioration caused by efflorescence. Microstructural analysis allowed to determine the nature of the binders, aggregates and fine particulates. It is expected to contribute, in restoration interventions, to the choice and quantity of materials compatible with the original evaluated here, preserving it and, thus, extending the service life of the building.
