Abstract:This study has provided an analytical chemistry method to reveal the production technologies employed in lime mortar making from a Spanish Colonial Period fortification in Bacolod, Lanao del Norte, Philippines. Analytical techniques such as Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) effectively provided general information on the chemical composition of the lime mortars and the hydraulic nature of the binder used. Mortar samples from different areas in the fort, were foun… Show more
