Project Title 

Pointing Mortars for Controlling Driving-Rain Ingress in Damp Towers

Background & Summary of Project

Looking at traditional materials, such as lime mortar, this research aims to design a repair pointing mortar which can mitigate driving-rain ingress to historic buildings. The research focuses on characterising the physical and chemical roles of additives, such as wood ash and crushed stones, in order to enhance the properties of lime mortars.
