Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed exploration of the science behind mortar, a material essential to construction. Through a series of carefully conducted experiments, the author delves into the properties of lime and its interaction with sand and water. The book's insights are presented within the context of the eighteenth century, a period marked by a growing interest in the application of scientific principles to practical problems. The author challenges conventional wisdom regarding the preparation and use of mortar, arguing that the quality of the final product is directly linked to the purity of the lime and the careful management of its interaction with air. The book explores the role of acidulous gas, a crucial factor in the hardening process, and how its presence or absence impacts the strength and durability of mortar. The book is a testament to the author's dedication to improving construction practices, providing a foundation for understanding the chemistry of mortar and paving the way for further advancements in building techniques.
