Current mortars in conservation: an overview
Renders are an important item in historical buildings and the need for their periodical re-appliance is a basic conservation procedure. In modern times there has been a trend towards the replacement of traditional pure lime mortars by new formulations including portland cement or hydraulic lime. Apart from those interventions on specific and very important monuments, in which it is possible to force the use of traditional non-hydraulic mortars, in most of the projects involving current heritage the use of some sort of hydraulic components is becoming the rule rather then the exception. The present paper describes and analyses the results of an experimental study with ten formulations of current mortars - including some that can hardly be considered as adequate conservation procedures - allowing a direct comparison in terms of some of the most relevant characteristics.
