| Sumario: | In the history, different mortars compositions have been used during the ages in masonry structures. Lime was frequently adopted in the past. In summary, there are two main types of lime: hydraulic and non-hydraulic (aerial). The present review deals with the second type. Herein, the studied lime is specially obtained from the thermal decomposition, called calcination, of limestone (calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Aerial lime mortars have a complex structural behavior. Several aspects influence the material performance. It should be highlighted the carbonation process; it modifies the material properties in time.Historic buildings are subjected to longer exposures, with changing and often unknown environmental conditions, affecting the structural behavior. In the present work a literature review about the use and application of aerial lime mortar as binder in historical mortars is discussed. There are relatively few studies about aerial lime mortar in literature, in this sense the work aims to contribute to the theme. The present text is partially based on the PhD thesis of the first author. |
