Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the science behind mortar, a building material that has been crucial to architecture for centuries. The author, a keen observer of the natural world, sought to understand the principles that govern the hardening and durability of mortar. Through meticulous experiments, he explores the role of various factors, including the type of lime, the amount of sand used, and the effect of air and water on the cementing process. The book's investigation is firmly rooted in the eraââ â¢s emerging understanding of chemistry. The author's focus on the importance of "acidulous gas" (what we now know as carbon dioxide) reflects the pioneering work of scientists like Joseph Black, who were unraveling the composition of air and its role in chemical reactions. The author also examines the practical implications of his findings for builders and plasterers, offering advice on how to improve mortar quality and longevity. The book's insights are particularly valuable for understanding the challenges of constructing durable buildings in climates with significant fluctuations in temperature and moisture. The authorââ â¢s emphasis on the importance of choosing the right lime, using proper proportions of lime and sand, and minimizing the exposure of lime to air before use, provides invaluable guidance for ensuring the strength and longevity of mortar-based structures. Ultimately, this book offers a unique and insightful examination of the science behind one of the most essential building materials, illuminating the principles that have governed the construction of buildings throughout history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
