Abstract

Multivariate statistical methods are proposed for the analysis of the physical properties of limestone cement, natural hydraulic lime and pozzolana-lime mortars admixed with water-repellents. The relationship between the physical properties and the durability of the mortars is evaluated by principal component analysis (PCA) and linear regression models. PCA allows to visualize (i) three groups of mortars according to the binder used and the structural/mechanical properties; (ii) the durability in relation to the mortar properties in simulated conditions. Linear regression models allow to identify and quantify associations between properties, composition and durability.
