“…Based on that, PC became the prevailing binder of the construction industry and thereby also for mortars production. On the other hand, remarkably preserved buildings and ruins of structures aged hundreds or even thousand of years with lime-based facades and plasters are well documented [19,20,21]. Authors also pointed out the important role of the binder and aggregate ratio, particle size distribution of used aggregate, and method of plaster application that related to final total open porosity of hardened mortar layers and their corresponding durability.…”

In this paper, crushed lava granulate was used as full silica sand replacement in composition of repair mortars based on hydrated lime, natural hydraulic lime, or cement-lime binder. Lava granules were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Particle size distribution of both silica and lava aggregates was assessed using standard sieve analysis. Hygrothermal function of the developed lightweight materials was characterized by the measurement of complete set of hygric, thermal, and structural parameters of the hardened mortar samples that were tested for both 28 days and 90 days cured specimens. As the repair mortars must also meet requirements on mechanical performance, their compressive strength, flexural strength, and dynamic Young’s modulus were tested. The newly developed mortars composed of lava aggregate and hydrated lime or natural hydraulic lime met technical, functional, compatibility, and performance criteria on masonry and rendering materials, and were found well applicable for repair of historically valuable buildings.

“…Building mortar is a building material formed by mixing cement, fine aggregates, mixtures and water in a suitable proportion, and the use of ceramic waste in mortar production dates back to the ancient times. The development of suitable repair mortar for historic masonry requires knowledge about chemical and mineralogical composition and information about the mechanical and physical properties of individual structures [3,4]. It has recently been suggested that mortars may be characterized by their mineralogical composition and micro structural appearance [5].…”

The present study evaluates the characteristics and performances of plaster mortars for construction, with the addition of oxide waste resulted from the filling of metal statues. Several plaster mortars using 0 %, 5 %, 10 %, 15 % and 20 % wt. of waste in composition were prepared in the laboratory and the physical and mechanical characteristics were determined. The waste oxide composition is mainly formed of 61.26 % SiO2, 11.20 % Al2O3 and 23.50 % CaSO4. The consistency water is about 75 % for mortars without waste. With increasing the waste content in the mortar composition, the amount of water decreases at about 50 %. It was also determined the setting time for all plaster mortars without any setting time retarder. The initial setting time for the control mortar was 12 minutes and with increasing the waste percentage in the composition, the setting time increased proportionally, reaching 18 minutes for the sample with 20 % wt. waste. The flexural strength of 2.03 N/mm 2 and compressive strength of 10.31 N/mm 2 were obtained for the sample with the highest amount of waste (20 % wt.).
