Abstract

We investigate two repair mortars using mechanical tests specifically developed for this type of material. The first is a fibre reinforced lime-based mortar, which contains thickening agent and limestone additions. The second is a fibre reinforced ordinary mortar, which contains a small quantity of silica fume and additives. The mechanical characterisation of the materials is based on tension, compression and three-point bending tests. The bond between the repair mortars and substrate was investigated by slant shear and flexural bonding tests. The results obtained have demonstrated the influence of the surface roughness and moisture conditions on the bond strength. Finally, scanning electron microscope observations have showed the morphology of the repair mortar-to-substrate interfacial zone.

Deux mortiers de réparation ont été étudiés à l’aide d’essais mécaniques spécifiquement développés pour ce type de matériaux. Le premier mortier est à base de chaux contenant des fibres organiques, des agents épaississants et des additions de calcaire. Le second est un mortier ordinaire contenant également des fibres organiques, de la fumée de silice et d’autres additifs. La caractérisation mécanique a été réalisée à l’aide des essais de traction, de compression et de flexion trois points. L’adhérence entre les mortiers de réparation et le substrat a été étudiée en utilisant des tests de cisaillement oblique et des tests de flexion. Les résultats obtenus ont démontré l’influence de la rugosité de surface et les conditions d’humidité sur la résistance du collage. Enfin, des observations au microscope électronique à balayage ont montré la morphologie de la zone interfaciale entre le mortier de réparation et le substrat.
