Evaluation of materials used in the replacement of sculptures in historical monuments
The objective of the present study is to appreciate the aptitude of various materials to imitate stone for the realisation of a moulding which is to replace the original piece in situ. After having referenced the main defects which appear on the copies, the moulding of a statue representative of the main difficulties encountered on the statuary of monuments was made with each of the materials. A set of tests were carried out in order to examine and characterise the four mortar formulations (pre-formulated or hand made) as well as two resin-based products (polyester resin and resin mortar) in order to establish the connection between defects and implementation. Results indicate that the quality of a moulding greatly depends on product use, particularly in the case of hydraulic mortars. Moreover, the choice of a product must be determined in relationship with the environment in which the copy is to be installed, and more specifically taking into account the properties of the stone, the severity of the climate and the level of pollution.
