Lime-based binders have been extensively used for restoration interventions and have
successfully addressed different performance and compatibility requirements. Lime (aerial …

Apricot (AS), peach (PS), and plum shells (PlS) were examined as sustainable aggregates
for non-structural lightweight concrete. The extraction of natural resources has a significant …

To properly restore masonry cultural heritage sites, the materials used for retrofitting can
