Abstract

This article gives a summary of functional and performance requirements for renders and plasters for historic masonry (design, execution and maintenance). Specific attention has been paid to degradation effects, such as caused by salt crystallization and freeze–thaw cycling. Traditional as well as designed prefab mortars are considered for repair intervention.
