The reaction of slaked lime with atmospheric CO 2 in the presence of humidity leads to the
formation of cementing carbonate phases in traditional aerial lime mortars and plasters. This …

For in situ reinforced concrete structures, carbonation has been considered as a risk that
needs to be inhibited for the past decades; while a pronounced carbonation in early age …

Storing carbon in construction products and building components seems a particularly
attractive strategy for compensating the initial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from …

The main objective of RILEM TC LHS-277 “Specifications for testing and evaluation of lime-
based repair materials for historic Structures” is the revision, adaption and, when necessary …

Galician “Rías”· conditions (extension, water temperature….) enable the production of
excellent quality cultured mussels. This leads Spain to be the third producer country in the …

In this paper, the process of design and evaluation of compatible materials to partially or
completely substitute damaged interior walls and ceilings coatings made of gypsum-based …

Organic admixtures based on polysaccharides are used in construction for modifying the
properties of mortars and concretes. Gum arabic is an example of a polysaccharide-based …

This paper focuses on the advanced mechanical characterization of natural hydraulic and
aerial lime mortars presenting a lime/aggregate ratio of 1: 3 and a water/lime ratio of 0.9 …

The aim of this work is to study the influence of calcium hydrated lime (lime putty or hydrated
lime powder) to the chemical and physico-mechanical characteristics of lime mortars. The …

In this study, the role of natural additives (sodium chloride or sugar) in aerial lime mortar was
elucidated. It was found that both the hydration and carbonation were accelerated by sodium …
