Effect of Aggregate and Binder Type on the Functional and Durability Parameters of Lightweight Repair Mortars
The subject matter of the work presented here is the development and evaluation of novel lightweight mortars that meet the functional and technical criteria imposed on repair mortars. In a broad experimental campaign, lime, natural hydraulic lime, and lime–cement mortars were designed and tested. Li...
