Project No: 25-15998S
The project focuses on complex research into eco-efficient mortars compatible for the sustainable repair of surface layers of historic buildings. The mortars design will focus on minimizing the carbon footprint and using natural, sustainable materials such as plant and animal fibers, natural organic and inorganic additives and admixtures modifying the limited properties of the binder, compatible in terms of materials, technology and function with the original masonry. The experimental analysis of the effect of natural additives, admixtures and fiber reinforcement used on the structure, properties and durability of the mortars will provide material parameters that will be subsequently used for modelling the function of the mortars in relation to the hygrothermal conditions of the environment and structure, including the salinity and degradation effects. This comprehensive approach will allow to obtain mortars for the restoration of historic buildings and to understand their structure, properties, and physicochemical phenomena occurring during their application in historic structures.
