Aspects of salt damage in restoration plasters and renders
conference paper
This paper reports provisional test results and their analysis on moisture-salt transport in restoration plasters obtained in the EU project COMPASS. First, some basic notions regarding salt damage in plasters / renders (plasters) are treated. Subsequently, using various simple as well as advanced experimental techniques (porsuring a multidisciplinary interpretation of the test results) it is shown that differences in porosity significantly affect moisture-salt transport in plaster-substrate combinations. Finally, the test results are related to damage occuring in practice
