Effect of mixed in crystallization modifiers on the resistance of lime mortar against NaCl and Na₂SO₄ crystallization

Weathering of porous building materials caused by the crystallization of soluble salts is a ubiquitous problem in the built cultural heritage. Especially lime-based mortars are susceptible to salt decay, due to both their bimodal pore size distribution and low mechanical strength. The addition of crystallization modifiers to mortars during...
