“…These weight losses correspond to carbonated lime content nearly 50% in the white lumps of the brick masonry mortars, and 90% in the lumps found in the stone masonry mortars. It has been reported that if the ratio of CO 2 /H 2 O is between 1 and 10 in a given mortar, it can be accepted as a hydraulic lime mortar [7,23]. When this is adapted to the evaluation of the hydraulicity of lime, the CO 2 /H 2 O ratio is 3 for the white lumps of brick masonry mortars and 25 for the white lumps of the stone masonry mortars.…”

In this study lime binder used in stone and brick masonry mortars of some historic Ottoman baths was examined to understand whether the binders were hydraulic or not. For this purpose the mineralogical and elemental compositions and the microstructure of lime binder were determined by XRD, SEM-EDS and TGA analyses. The results indicate that the lime used in the brick dome mortars of Ottoman baths was hydraulic. Taking into account the kiln and fuel conditions of the 15th century, the possibility of obtaining hydraulic lime at relatively low temperature was examined. For this purpose limestone containing diatoms was heated at a relatively low temperature (850°C), then slaked and carbonated. After heating and slaking, calcium silicate giving hydraulicity to the lime was indicated by XRD and SEM-EDS analyses. These results show that the production of hydraulic lime at a relatively low calcination temperature (850°C) was possible with 15th century kilns.

“…However, the Romans achieved a great knowledge about the preparation and applications of these hydraulic mortars and they spread their use. The joining of volcanic sand from Pozzuoli left, aside the well-known characteristic name for these materials, very durable mortars which properties have been highlighted by several authors [5,[7][8][9][10].…”

“…Lime/aggregate ratio values of various brick-lime mortars used in some historic buildings similarly ranged between these values [9,10,[19][20][21][22]. This indicated that similar raw material compositions were also used in production of brick-lime plasters, although the use of high amounts of lime was expected in the production of lime plasters.…”

“…In recent studies, raw material compositions, mineralogical, microstructural and hydraulic properties of brick-lime mortars and plasters of different historic buildings were determined in order to understand their manufacturing technology and to produce compatible repair mortars and plasters with the existing ones [7][8][9][10][11][12]. The investigated mortars and plasters presented different binder/aggregate ratios varying from 1:4 to 1:2.…”

a b s t r a c tBrick-lime mortars and plasters have been widely used as water-proof materials in aqueducts, bridges and cisterns since early Hellenistic time. In this study, the characteristics of brick-lime plasters used in some Ottoman bath buildings were investigated in order to understand their relevance as plasters in hot and humid environmental conditions of the baths. For this purpose, basic physical properties, raw material compositions, mineralogical, microstructural and hydraulic properties of brick-lime plasters of some historic bath buildings in _ Izmir (Turkey) were determined by XRD, SEM-EDX, AFM and chemical analyses. The results indicated that their survival without loosing their strength and adhesion in hot and humid conditions of the baths was explained by their hydraulic characters due to the consciously use of porous and pozzolanic crushed bricks as aggregate in the manufacturing of plasters.
