Frost resistance of lime-based mortars
Janotová, Dana ; Nunes, Cristiana Lara ; Slížková, Zuzana
The paper presents several methods for assessing frost resistance of six different lime-based mortar mixtures according to the type of binder. Specimens with three and twelve months of age were subjected to frost resistance test according to CSN 72 2452 standard. Durability of each mortar type was evaluated through mechanical strength, frost resistance coefficient, modulus of elasticity and saturation coefficient. The results obtained point out that the lime-based mortar mixtures tested can only fulfil the frost resistance standard requirements if containing a certain amount of Portland cement.

Analysis of mortar used for grouting of enclosure wall of St. Wenceslas church in Chlum near Třebíč
Slížková, Zuzana ; Drdácký, Miloš ; Hauková, Petra ; Frankeová, Dita ; Janotová, Dana ; Niedoba, Krzysztof ; Zeman, Antonín
Investor of building (Roman Catholic parish) asked ITAM AV ČR, v.v.i. for an analysis of wall mortar of the St. Wenceslas church in Chlum. The reason for this investigation carried out was the fact that the mortar applied to the wall in 2010 shows after winter disturbances, which reflected a lack of cohesion and adhesion of mortar to the substrate. The mortar is crumbling in many places, sometimes its fragments fall off. The investor asked for an analysis of the composition of applied mortar and the assessment of the suitability of materials for the construction.
