- Abstract
- Mortar from seven 16th – 17th cc. Russian fortresses (Nizhny Novgorod, Kolomna, Zaraisk, Serpukhov, Borisov Gorodok, Smolensk and Vyazma) was studied with the help of chemical and petrographic analysis. The following mortars were analyzed for comparison: contemporary mortar used by restorers in Smolensk and three mortars from Medieval fortifications in England and Wales: Chepstow, Conwy and Camber. For all the investigated mortars, lime-magnesian module, hydraulic (main) module, specific alumina and cohesive to filler ratio were calculated. The study showed that all the mortars from the 16th – 17th cc. Russian fortresses were sand-lime, which is in sharp contrast with the mainly crushed brick-lime mortars used in the 11th – 13th cc. Most of the mortars are low-magnesian and rich, with components ratio from 1:0.1 to 1:0.7.
