This project aims to develop innovative tools, strategies, and guidelines that mitigate the detrimental effects of water related weathering, ensuring the long-term preservation of our valuable cultural heritage. Research on water control in buildings, their effects and how to fight against the damage: salt crystallisation, indoor moisture development, wall humidity, consolidation products, microbiological development. In this PhD the objective is to formulate new rendering mortars, for outdoor and indoor use, that can reduce the humidity content of walls. The sustainability of the mortars is an important aspect that will be also considered under different aspects: low environmental impact during fabrication, application, use and end of life. These mortars will be durable in actual and future climate conditions.
