The Influence of the Substrate and the Environmental Conditions on the Performance of Lime-Based Repair Mortars
In order to revitalize and preserve the Paimogo Fort, a Portuguese coastline military fortification built in 1674 and classified as of public interest since 1957, several lime-based repair rendering mortars were developed, considering the compatibility requirements with the original ones. In this investigation, the different lime-based mortar compositions proposed are briefly described and their main physical and mechanical characteristics are an…
Retrofitting Historic Walls
The European Union is pursuing an ambitious policy on climate action, urgently calling for an acceleration in the transition toward net-zero emissions by 2050. In this context, retrofitting historic constructions can play a key role in reducing European energy consumption and consequent emissions. What is more, beyond the opportunity for tackling climate change, thermal retrofits can improve indoor comfort while lowering operational costs, factor…
Performance of a Salt-Accumulating Substitution Lime Render for Salt Laden Historic Masonry Walls
Salt crystallization is one of the main decay processes in historic masonry mortars, and climate change can worsen the salt weathering effects on those materials as result of, e.g., more often rain falls, more intense solar radiation and sea level rise. In this paper, the effectiveness and durability of a substitution “ventilated render” system (a two-layer render, with base and outer layer and “vertical grooves” in the base layer) on a full-scal…
Traditional and Modern Plasters for Built Heritage
Plasters have covered wide surface areas of buildings since antiquity, with a main purpose of indoor protection of the substrate on which they are applied. When no longer functional, they might require substitution with solutions that can combine compatibility with the substrate with the current need to mitigate building emissions. Indeed, plasters can contribute to lowering buildings’ energy demands while improving indoor air quality and the com…

The history of P ortuguese interior plaster coatings
The evolution of the materials used in P ortuguese interior wall coatings since the R oman occupation, namely the binders, is investigated using XRD in order to build a preliminary systematic database to contribute to the design and study of compatible products for conservation and repair. The results show that lime was the main binder until the end of the 18th century, with gypsum overcoming its use in the 19th century. A relationship is establi…
