Adherence Evaluation in Tile-Mortar Interface

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article deals with some of preliminary tests to study the adherence mechanism of lime mortars to late XIXth Century tiles. The bond between them is mainly physical. A water absorption by capillary test and a suction test were performed to study the parameters of mortar penetration in tiles porosity. The old tiles seem to have a higher porosity than new ones. Some of the new specimens can be used to simulate the old tiles in future tests without applying partially destructive tests to historical objects.
