TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a replacement render system called "ventilated render" (emboco ventilado in Portuguese) for historic constructions with renders damaged due to the presence of high moisture content and soluble salts.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of mechanical cleaning by brushing and by abrasive blasting on the lime render coating of a facade were investigated using macro-photography, USB digital microscope and stereomicroscope with 3D visualization and measurement.
Abstract: This research studies the effects of mechanical cleaning by brushing and by abrasive blasting on the lime render coating of a facade. After analysing the properties of the material, the deposits to be removed and their possible influence on the treatment, different cleaning tests were made by manual brushing and by blasting with three varieties of abrasives at 45° and 75° angles, keeping the other parameters constant. Taking the restorer’s perspective as a starting point, and in order to fulfil the practical requirements of an intervention, tests were evaluated with macro-photography, USB digital microscope and stereomicroscope with 3D visualization and measurement. From the results can be concluded that abrasives with low friability and greater grain size than the space between mortar aggregates blasted at a 75° angle reduce the differential erosion compared to other abrasives; although manual brushing has less impact on the surface.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the effect of adding clay to hemp concrete blocks and find that it is advisable to wait at least ten weeks before rendering and that adding clay can lead to more intense deterioration of the render.

TL;DR: In this article, a 2D numerical simulation of hygrothermal behavior of the wall was carried out using a coupled heat and moisture transport model with boundary condition from the monitored data (outside weather conditions and inside regulation).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether there is a connection between different handling procedures for wet-slaked lime putty and early shrinkage cracks in render and found that reworking and storage increased the frequency of such cracks.
