The Importance of Using Appropriate Materials When Renovating Old Masonry Buildings - Case Study: Church from the End of the XIX-Th Century

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study is about a church built at the end of the 19th century, made of burnt brick and lime mortar with sand, inadequately renovated. The objective of the study is to signal about the damages suffered by the old buildings due to the use of inadequate materials in repair. The present building was less than 20 years ago renovated by replacing the old lime-sand plaster with cement mortar, a fact that led to the accumulation of moisture in masonry, resulting the damage of the finishes and affecting the safe health conditions. The article presents temperature, humidity and dew point measurements, a calculation of the comfort index, and a software modelling, as well as the correct solutions.
