Holistic approach of pre-existing flaws on the decay of two limestones
Jan Dewanckele,Marijn Boone,T. de Kock,W. De Boever,Loes Brabant,Matthieu Boone,Gilles Fronteau,Jeroen Dils,L. Van Hoorebeke,Patric Jacobs,Veerle Cnudde +10 more
TL;DR: The results show that weathering patterns vary for both limestones although the causes of weathering were similar, and the underlying microstructure determines the weathering pattern of the stone.

Characterization, performance and replacement stone compatibility of building stone in the 12th century tower of Dudzele (Belgium)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the Caen stone as an important historic building material in northern France and Britain, based on the stone's petrophysical properties and an evaluation of its decay state.

Multi-disciplinary characterization and monitoring of sandstone (Kandla Grey) under different external conditions
Veerle Cnudde,W. De Boever,Jan Dewanckele,T. de Kock,Matthieu Boone,M.N. Boone,Geert Silversmit,Laszlo Vincze,E. Van Ranst,Hannelore Derluyn,Steven Peetermans,Jan Hovind,Peter Modregger,Marco Stampanoni,K. De Buysser,G. De Schutter +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the structural characteristics of the laminations have an effect on the frost resistance of Kandla Grey sandstone and its response to salt weathering, and it can be concluded that Kandla grey sandstone can be sensitive to frost and salt exposure under the current climatic conditions in Western Europe.

An empirical method for the estimation of permeability in natural hydraulic lime mortars
TL;DR: In this paper, an estimation method for the permeability of natural hydraulic lime mortar at 90 days of age is presented, where both open porosity and pore diameter are estimated using information which can be obtained without making the mortar: the water-binder ratio, properties of the mortar ingredients such as the aggregate grain size distribution, the mean grain size of the binder and the composition of binder.

Pore-related properties of natural hydraulic lime mortars: an experimental study
A. Isebaert,A. Isebaert,W. De Boever,Fanny Descamps,Jeroen Dils,Mathijs Dumon,G. De Schutter,E. Van Ranst,Veerle Cnudde,L. Van Parys +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, 16 different mortar recipes were made with NHL 5, the most hydraulic NHL type, and 16 different mortars had variations in spread, sand type and grain size.
