Kiese und Sande der Schweiz

About

Repairing and complementing historical surfaces is crucial in conservation and restoration. Experiments with lime mortars have gained traction, but the role of aggregates like gravel and sand in historical mixes has been overlooked. These aggregates affect workability, durability, color, and texture. This book introduces Swiss aggregates, addressing their diversity and availability. It covers general aspects of mortar recreation and regional distribution of aggregates. A catalog describes Swiss mortar sands, aiding readers in choosing suitable aggregates and compositions.
