Using lime mortar to connect, protect and decorate buildings was a very common technique
in ancient times. Understanding the mechanical properties and carbonation mechanism of …

Crystallisation inhibitors, such as sodium ferrocyanide (NaFeCN), are highly effective in
mitigating NaCl-induced weathering in lime-based mortars; however, direct addition of …

NHL mortars are known to be compatible materials for the conservation of architectural
heritage. To improve their properties with regard to salt resistance and lower their carbon …

Salt (NaCl) weathering in mortar, can be mitigated by incorporating a crystallisation inhibitor
(sodium ferrocyanide) during mortar preparation. However, the service-life of the inhibitor is …

The vast majority of building materials that are heavily affected by salts require desalination
and subsequent consolidation treatments. This double intervention entails a risk associated …

This paper investigates the leaching behaviour of sodium ferrocyanide, a known
crystallisation inhibitor of sodium chloride, which is added to mortars for mitigation of salt …

Plasters and renders used in historic monuments are vulnerable to degradation caused by
salt weathering. Crystallisation inhibitors (molecules/ions that alter salt crystallisation) mixed …

In this study, the pre-consolidation of the granite used in the north façade of St. Martin's
Cathedral in Ourense, of Romanesque style (S. XII–XIII), and its influence on the …

The tomb of Cyrus the Great, founder of the Persian Empire, is considered one of the most
important monuments of Iran. Its advanced state of deterioration motivated the need to carry …

Porous building materials are often subjected to damage due to salt crystallization. In recent
years, the addition of crystallization inhibitors in lime-based mortar, has shown promising …
