Lime-based plasters with combined expanded clay-silica aggregate: Microstructure, texture and engineering properties

Original language description

Plasters containing lightweight aggregates are mostly characteristic by low bulk density and low thermal conductivity but these properties are often achieved at the expense of mechanical strength. In this paper, lightweight lime-based plasters which have both good thermal and mechanical properties are designed. As their supposed applications include the renovation of surface layers of historical buildings, burnt clay shale is used as pozzolanic admixture. The volumetric ratio of silica sand and expanded clay aggregate (ECA) is varied over a wide range to analyze the effect of ECA. The microstructural studies show a more compact ITZ between the matrix and ECA than of sand. Apparently, the surface roughness of ECA grains makes possible easier formation of hydration products and later it can support the growth of calcite and CSH amorphous phases. The textural analysis together with the basic physical properties reveals a substantial increase of open porosity with the increasing ECA dosage; the added pores are mostly within the range of 10 nm to 1 μm. The assessment of the wide range of engineering properties of the plasters leads to the identification of the lime-pozzolan plaster with the volumetric ratio of 1: 1 between sand and ECA as the most appropriate solution. The thermal conductivity of this plaster is two times lower than of the plaster with silica, while the changes in mechanical strengths are only marginal. The favorable hygric properties can be considered as another asset. Faster vapor transport, together with the higher water vapor adsorption capability, can decrease a risk of water condensation and moderate the effects of both exterior and interior climate, the relatively slow liquid water transport is a limiting factor for rainwater penetration. The economical parameters of the plaster with the best functional properties are also very good. According to the current situation on the Czech market, the price increase is only 3%.
