Experimental Study For Improving Mechanical Properties Of Limestone Mortar Of Ancient Masonry


Abstract in English

This research study the impact of additions to improve limestone mortar properties to become comparable to hydraulic lime which is used in other countries, by using additions relative to that were used in the old mortar, also used modern additions like fiber glass to limit unwanted contraction in the use of limestone mortar, , especially in arid environments.
