The historic decorative lime plasters of Ellora caves, dated back to 6–11th century AD have
been investigated for their mineralogical, micro-structure and chemical characterization. The …

The interface interaction between reinforcing glass fibers and a brittle silicate matrix is the
key parameter influencing mechanical behavior of lime-based fiber-reinforced mortars. Most …

Plasters belong to a group of cementitious materials which by nature have a capillary-
porous structure. It causes many unfavorable phenomena, such as excessive dampness of …

Several grottoes were excavated in Northwest China between the 5th and 13th centuries,
and the most famous relics of these grottoes are wall paintings. The plaster layer is the most …

In this paper, crushed lava granulate was used as full silica sand replacement in
composition of repair mortars based on hydrated lime, natural hydraulic lime, or cement-lime …

The number of studies aimed at the characterization of reinforced lime-based mortars for use
in the rehabilitation of historic buildings is still very small. This fact contrasts with the growing …

The use of lime mortars in building material has been increasingly studied due to their low
negative impacts on the environment and higher availability on the earth. The use of natural …
