Traditional lime technologies of historical buildings and their use at present. Final report
Válek, Jan
The project was based on a design and construction of a lime kiln. The kiln was tested and described and it enabled to study the effects of traditional lime production on quality of lime. This also allowed to produce lime binders, which were commonly used in the past and were later on abandoned. Research and experimental works focused on quality of lime putties and determining the suitability of different types of previously used materials for production of lime binders. Detailed research of available resources related to the lime production was carried out. The important aim was creation of applied outputs that would be useful in practical care of historical buildings.
Study of historic mortars - Inspiration for the lime industry?
Válek, Jan
Study of historic mortars is motivated by the desire of understanding of these materials and also by the contemporary approach towards repair of architectural heritage. Detailed study contributes to new scientific findings for example about durability of materials and their degradation agents. Results of study of historic mortars can be an inspiration for production of modern lime based mortars. The focus on authenticity and understanding of historic materials leads to a reintroduction of production of some binders for repair of historic buildings. The 2nd Historic mortars conference joined with the RILEM TC 203-RHM - Repair mortars for historic masonry -was held in Prague earlier this year. This paper refers about selected contributions of this conference.
