Pore Structure of Historic and Repair Roman Cement Mortars to Establish their Compatibility

Original language description

Mercury porosimetry was applied to the study of pore structure of the historic Roman cement mortars representative of different locations in Europe and time periods as well as different application techniques from architectural castings. 3 categories ofpores were found to coexist in the mortars. In general, Roman cement stuccoes are in an excellent state in spite of their usual exposure to polluted urban environments for more than a century. The coexistence of Roman cement mortars of widely different pore structures has not brought about any problems of incompatibility which field observations could reveal. The Roman cement repair materials have been found to develop pore structures similar to those of historic mortars. Therefore, they are in broad terms compatible with historic masonry or stuccoes. However, the porosity and strength of the repair materials can be controlled by a careful manipulation of the water-to-cement ratio of the mix to adapt them better to the properties of the
