Lubelli, B. (author), des Bouvrie, Ernst (author), Nijland, Timo G. (author), Kamat, Ameya (author)Salt crystallization is a major cause of weathering of mortars, including plasters and renders. In the last decade, the use of mixed-in salt crystallization inhibitors in mortars has been proposed as a solution to improve the durability of this material with respect to salt decay. Laboratory characterization and accelerated weathering tests have...journal article 2023

Kamat, Ameya (author), Lubelli, B. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Porous building materials are often subjected to damage due to salt crystallization. In recent years, the addition of crystallization inhibitors in lime-based mortar, has shown promising results in improving durability of this material against salt decay. Lime-based mortars have low mechanical properties and slow setting. They are often replaced...journal article 2022

Ruiz-Agudo, E. (author), Lubelli, B. (author), Sawdy, A. (author), Van Hees, R. (author), Price, C. (author), Rodriguez-Navarro, C. (author)San Jeronimo Monastery (Granada, Spain) was selected as a case study for the investigation of the effect of indoor environmental conditions on salt weathering and for on-site testing of a remediation treatment using crystallization inhibitors on account of the extreme salt damage affecting both the building stone, a biomicritic limestone,...journal article 2010
