Report on survey of salinity of masonries under 3rd courtyard at Prague Castle
Slížková, Zuzana ; Náhunková, Pavla
In 2022, the characterization of the chemical composition and amount of salt efflorescence on archaeological constructions under Prague Castle was supplemented by two new locations (at the site of the foundations of the Chapel of St. Bartholomew and near the northern wall of zone III). In the results, carbonate minerals were not detected as in previous years (except for calcite in small quantities). Sodium sulfate was again the majority component in the efflorescences. Using thermal analysis, the presence of sodium sulfate in the form of mirabilite was confirmed in the samples taken in February. The high contamination of marlstone with nitrates and chlorides in today's crown of the chapel's masonry of St. Bartholomew and increased sulfate contamination in the plinth section was detected. Conversely, no risk values of water-soluble ions were detected in the mortar or the black bricks of the perimeter wall.

Chemical and microstructural analysis of brick samples from the object of Zákupy castle horse stables
Frankeová, Dita ; Bauerová, Pavla ; Náhunková, Pavla ; Ševčík, Radek ; Mácová, Petra ; Slížková, Zuzana ; Vondráčková, Michaela
As part of the construction-technical survey, historical brick samples were characterized using thermal analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS), ion chromatography (IC), infrared spectrometry (FTIR) and physical tests. The results of the tests testify to the good production quality of the masonry elements used. Based on the analyzes carried out, it can be assumed that the observed damage to the bricks is caused by high wetting of the masonry in combination with frost cycles, as well as crystallization cycles of water-soluble salts present in the surface layer of some bricks.
