Long-term mechanical properties of lime-pozzolan mortars: The role of amorphous Al2O3
Original language description
Today, lime-pozzolan mortars are being used in the repair of historic buildings, replacing the lime-cement mortars that were previously used in this practice, but were incompatible with historic mortars. It has been observed in laboratory research and also in practice that some lime-pozzolan mortars can lose strength over time. The cause of this behaviour is not fully understood, but the main reason seems to be the instability and breakdown of the aluminate phases. In this paper, the role of amorphous Al2O3 content in pozzolans on the long-term mechanical properties of lime-pozzolan mortars is studied. Lime-pozzolan mortars with 40% replacement of lime with pozzolans with different contents of amorphous Al2O3 (metakaolin, pumice, pozzolanic earth, trass, zeolite) were prepared and the changes in strength, porosity and mineralogical composition of the mortars (determined by XRD and TG/DTA) over time were monitored. Mortars containing pozzolans with a high content of amorphous Al2O3 (over 30% by weight)
