The stress cycling of hydraulic lime mortars
The effect of thermal expansion and contraction in masonry has been simulated using repeated stress cycles. Cylindrical specimens cast from 1:2 NHL3.5 lime mortar were exposed to air at 208° and 65% relative humidity with a CO2...

The application of electrical resistance measurements to water transport in lime–masonry systems
The paper describes an experimental determination of impedance spectroscopy derived resistance measurements to record water transport in lime-masonry systems. It strongly supports the use of Sharp Front theory and Boltzmann's...

Early in 2014 several forecast systems were suggesting a strong 1997/98-like El Niño event for the following northern hemisphere winter 2014/15. However the eventual outcome was a modest warming. In contrast, winter 2015/16 saw...

Deformation of NHL3.5 and CL90/PC hybrid mortars
The time-dependent deformation of an NHL 3.5 natural hydraulic lime mortar, a 1 : 6 Portland cement mortar, two Portland cement/CL90 hybrid mortars and a CL90 lime paste, through creep and drying shrinkage under load, has been...

Fair weather or foul? The macroeconomic effects of El Niño
This paper employs a dynamic multi-country framework to analyze the international macroeconomic transmission of El Niño weather shocks. This framework comprises 21 country/region-specific models, estimated over the period 1979Q2...
Analysis of the abstraction of water from freshly mixed jointing mortars in masonry construction
Sharp front theory is used to derive an equation describing the time taken for a wet mortar joint to be dewatered by an absorbent substrate. The equation shows that the time taken to dewater a mortar joint is directly...
Factors affecting the water retaining characteristics of lime and cement mortars in the freshly-mixed state
Desorptivity, the parameter which quantifies water retaining ability, has been determined for freshly-mixed natural hydraulic lime and cement mortars using a modified American Petroleum Institute pressure cell. The results show...
