Rendering and plastering mortars supply protection to buildings and may contribute significantly to thermal and acoustic comfort of the indoor environmental. Being protective layers, they suffer aging and use and have to be repaired and sometimes replaced. Taking this into account, rendering and plastering mortars must comply with technical, but also ecological requirements. Therefore, it is essential to use mo...
The interest in restoration and maintenance of old masonries towards their durability is nowadays combined with the concept of sustainability and the need to implement more suitable materials for building heritage interventions. This has led to the importance of having a better knowledge of air lime mortars, namely on the effect of pozzolanic additions, curing conditions and evolution at early stages. This stud...

info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/FCT/OE/77882/PT; This article evaluates the relevant properties of cement-bonded particleboards (CBPB) made with a portion of maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) particles replaced with an agricultural waste, banana pseudostem (Musa sp.). The industrial production of CBPB was simulated in the laboratory based on a reference composition defined by a manufacturing company. Test specimens we...

In urban areas façades of buildings and monuments accumulate dirt and are visually degraded, implicating high consumption of resources for repair. The search and development of new products that can help to maintain those façades is therefore very important. To prevent possible damage to the building surface maintaining their aesthetic appearance, cementitious materials with new properties have been developed. ...
