Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the chemical interactions between restoration mortars and seawater, a subject of great importance for preserving historic masonry structures. The author meticulously examines the impact of seawater on various mortar compositions, shedding light on the crucial role of mortar composition in preventing brick scaling and cryptoorescence damage. Through a series of rigorous experiments, the book establishes the relationship between binder content, porosity, and the solubility of mortar constituents in seawater. It highlights the vulnerability of high-calcium lime mortars to calcium leaching, emphasizing the need for restoration mortars with low calcium content to minimize damage to historic fabrics. The findings presented in this book provide valuable guidance for conservators and restoration professionals, empowering them to make informed decisions about mortar selection and composition to ensure the longevity and integrity of historic masonry structures.
