Experimental testing of the durability of lime-based mortars used for rendering historic buildings
TL;DR: In this article, the authors designed four ageing tests that aim to simulate water movements, ice formation and salt crystallization in lime mortars exposed to an extreme, but realistic, range of temperature and humidity.

Aerial lime-based mortars blended with a pozzolanic additive and different admixtures: A mineralogical, textural and physical-mechanical study
Anna Arizzi,Giuseppe Cultrone +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of a lightweight aggregate, plus water-retaining and a water-reducing agents on the hardened properties of mortars in which the aerial lime is replaced by a 10% and 20% metakaolin content were investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the mineralogical and petrographic characterisation of mortar-based materials from Villa San Marco in the ancient Stabiae (modern Castellammare di Stabia, Napoli), an outstanding example of Roman otium villae, and aimed at recognising the technology used by the ancient skilled workers.

The difference in behaviour between calcitic and dolomitic lime mortars set under dry conditions: The relationship between textural and physical-mechanical properties
Anna Arizzi,Giuseppe Cultrone +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of using two different aggregates (natural and crushed of calcitic and siliceous composition) is examined and it is shown that the use of dolomitic lime is not recommendable if mortars are applied in dry areas since a great shrinkage occurs and no strength improvement is induced.

The influence of aggregate texture, morphology and grading on the carbonation of non-hydraulic (aerial) lime-based mortars
Anna Arizzi,Giuseppe Cultrone +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the texture, morphology and grading of fine aggregates on the microstructure and macroscopic properties of aerial lime-based mortars is investigated, showing that a calcareous aggregate with continuous grading, consisting of sub-angular grains with a rough surface, induced better textural and physical-mechanical properties than a siliceous aggregate, with polished surface grains and less continuous grading.
