Abstract

Lime mortar has been used throughout history despite current substitution by hydraulic mortars (cements). The chemical composition of the lime used in its manufacture, however, is determined by local geology. In addition, the type of slaking, which depends on the amount of water used, gives rise to different types of lime. The result is that the behavior of lime mortar can vary depending on the composition and type of lime used. A three-way ANOVA analysis was carried out to determine the composition, type, and temporal evolution and the interactions of these three variables for evaluation of the characteristics of air lime mortars for their use in cultural heritage conservation projects.
