Towards a better understanding of hot-mixed mortars for the conservation of historic buildings: the role of water temperature and steam during lime slaking

Heritage Science, 2021
According to various historic accounts and material evidence, the practice of producing lime mortars by mixing the quicklime with the sand (i.e. hot-mixing) before first slaking it with water was much more common in the past centuries than appreciated by

Exploring the potential of cuttlebone waste to produce building lime

Materiales de Construccion, 2020
The goal of this study is to find a practicable way to recycle cuttlebone waste in the production of lime. It was studied the behavior of calcium oxide obtained from the calcination of this waste at 900, 1000 and 1100 ºC and, after wet slaking, the ...

The QuantiSlakeTest, measuring soil structural stability by dynamic weighing of undisturbed samples immersed in water [PDF]

SOIL, 2023
We evaluated the performance of a new, simple test to evaluate soil structural stability. The QuantiSlakeTest (QST) consists in a quantitative approach of the slake test, a dynamic weighing of a dried structured soil sample once immersed in water.

Plant diversity and root traits benefit physical properties key to soil function in grasslands [PDF]

, 2016
Plant diversity loss impairs ecosystem functioning, including important effects on soil. Most studies that have explored plant diversity effects belowground, however, have largely focused on biological processes.

Enrichment of organic carbon in sediment transport by interrill and rill erosion processes [PDF]

, 2008
Erosion and loss of organic carbon (OC) result in degradation of the soil surface. Rill and interrill erosion processes on a silt loam soil were examined in laboratory rainfall and flume experiments.

Effect of Climatic Conditions on Durability of Clayey Soil Stabilized with Lime

Tikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2011
Durability is one of the most important subjects in the soil stabilization. Since there is no specifications concerned the durability of lime-stabilized soils, several factors were selected to show their effects on the durability, namely: wetting, drying,

Big deal - good deal? Or is there a better deal? [PDF]

, 2003
The purchase by library consortia of all journals published by one publisher - the so-called Big Deal - is bad for small publishers and for large libraries even if - in the short-term - good for large publishers and for small libraries.

Slaking mechanisms of a mudstone and prediction of its number-size distribution considering shape evolution

Soils and Foundations
The wide distribution of mudstone poses challenges to efficient construction and safe long-term maintenance of infrastructure, primarily due to its susceptibility to slaking.

Dolomitic limes: evolution of the slaking process under different conditions [PDF]

, 2004
Dolomitic lime-based pastes were prepared in order to study the evolution of the compounds during the slaking process. Thermal studies as well as X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy were used to confirm the formed compounds.
