and performance of the built environment. Water Transport in Brick, Stone and Concrete …

The unexpected closure of the mine processing area of Lefke-Xeros generated the largest
environmental disaster in the recent history of Northern Cyprus. The mining area, formed the …

Degradation of hydrated lime mortars subjected to freezing and thawing is common in
historic building conservation. The pozzolanic additions, Argical M1000, diatomite …

This study reports an experimental investigation designed to assess the influence of near-
surface moisture contents on permeation properties of alkali-activated slag concrete (AASC) …

The progressive increase in the industrialisation, consequently the energy consumption and
carbon footprint reacquaint the sustainable and environmental credentials of hydrated lime …

This paper investigates the effects of dewatering on the strength and microstructure of
mortars manufactured from Portland cement, hydrated calcium lime (CL90), and natural …

An important factor affecting the strength of a masonry wall is the capacity of the bond
between the mortar and the bricks to transfer the loads within the wall. The main parameter …

Desorptivity, the parameter which quantifies water retaining ability, has been determined for
freshly-mixed natural hydraulic lime and cement mortars using a modified American …

Neutron radiography was employed to observe and quantify water exchange between fresh
and old cement mortars. The influence of the initial moisture conditions (dry, water-saturated …

This paper investigates the effect of brick dust on the water-releasing properties and
dewatering of hydrated lime mortars. Dewatering in masonry occurs when freshly mixed …
