Experimental study of bond behavior on sprayed and poured mortar-brick interface with latex bonding agent under conventional and humid environments

Dawei Huang et al.

Summary: Sprayed mortars can strengthen masonry walls and improve their resistance to horizontal forces. The influence of ambient humidity on the latex layer has not been well analyzed in previous studies. This research investigates interfacial behavior under different humidity curing environments and compares interfaces formed through pouring and spraying methods. The experimental results show that ambient humidity conditions significantly affect interfacial properties, with sprayed mortar samples demonstrating better overall performance.

Effect of pores on the mechanical and durability properties on high strength recycled fine aggregate mortar

Rebeca Martinez-Garcia et al.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the impact of recycled fine aggregate on the mechanical and durability performance of mortar. The results show that mortar with 25% recycled fine aggregate performs better, but it also has an increase in pore structure.

The Use of Fibreglass Mesh in the Experimental Characterisation of Applied Coating Mortars

Rafael Travincas et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of a fibreglass mesh on the characteristics of detached mortar. The results show that the use of the mesh does not significantly affect the macrostructural properties of the mortar.

Evaluation of in-service performance factors of renders based on in-situ testing techniques

Dora Silveira et al.

Summary: The experimental work investigated the influence of factors such as the type of substrate, number and thickness of mortar layers on the performance of renders, using in-situ testing techniques. The results showed that these factors affect the performance of renders, and different devices sometimes lead to distinct testing outcomes. Combining results from different techniques helped reduce analysis uncertainty.

Influence of brick and concrete substrates on the performance of renders using in-situ testing techniques

Poliana Bellei et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the influence of different substrate treatments and suction on the performance of mortars through in-situ testing techniques. The results showed that a double spray of water on the substrate surface achieved the best performance, and the applied mortars improved their mechanical behavior at both 28 and 90 days.
