Hot-lime mortars: a current perspective

Forster, A.

Hot-lime mortars: a current perspective - 2004 - Journal of Architectural Conservation 3(10) November 2004, 7-27(21) .

Highlights current views on the use of hot-lime mortars and considers why hot-lime mortars appear to offer better performance than alternative lime mortars. The potential for altered hydraulic properties, bond characteristics between the lime/aggregate interface, pore-structure development and micro-structure performance are assessed, although it is stressed that this is only a preliminary investigation aimed at stimulating debate and further research.
