Zastosowanie badań fizykochemicznych w diagnostyce tynków elewacyjnych obiektu zabytkowego

The restored external walls of the town hall were examined, in which comprehensive plaster repairs were made on the facades. Specialist renovation type of render mortars were used. However, after the repairs were made, numerous damages appeared. The tests were aimed at checking the properties of the renders used, determining the causes of damage and specifying repair guidelines. For this purpose, render samples were taken along with fragments of substrates to determine the degree of salinity of the walls. Then the renders were subjected to physical and chemical tests. The tests showed a low degree of render salinity and properties corresponding to the renovation type of renders. The analyzed case is an example when, with low salinity of walls, highly porous renovation plasters are not fully used and can be replaced by traditional system plaster mortars of a light variety with increased porosity.
