Special Mortars for Repair Masonry: The Problem of the Optimization

Abstract:

Destruction masonry is a common problem. The nature of the material of masonry and the degree of preservation offers different combinations of technological methods of repair. In this regard it has formulated one of the main tasks of restoration materials science - finding the optimal composition of a material with a large number of variables in the presence of rigid boundary conditions in a short time. The solution to this problem lies in the area of mathematical modeling using the methods of planning of experiments. In this regard the aim of this study is the development of methods for optimization of mortars that allows getting the desired result in a relatively short period of time.
