Amelioration of crushed brick - lime composites using nano-additives
(2016)
Crushed brick is widely known as a pozzolanic additive for composite building materials. However, crushed brick - lime composites usually show high porosity, low compressive strength and slow reaction kinetics. In this ...
New evidence of early use of artificial pozzolanic material in mortars
(2013)
Hydraulic building composites, such as mortars and plasters, produced with artificial pozzolanic materials, became widely popular thanks to the Romans. Reports on earlier uses of such composites can also be found, mainly ...
Micro-destructive mapping of the salt crystallization front in limestone
(2015)
Salt crystallization is widely recognized as one of the most damaging factors affecting stone monuments and buildings. Conservation of structures suffering from weathering due to salt crystallization can be immensely ...
Salt distribution mapping in natural building and decorative stones
(2011)
Despite extensive work in the field of salt crystallization throughout the years, there are few reported attempts in the literature to map the distribution of the salt front in porous masonry materials and therefore try ...
