The reconstruction of Lisbon Downtown after the 1755 earthquake was based on a novel constructive system based on masonry buildings with an internal three-dimensional timber-framed structure named "gaiola pombalina". This internal structure aimed at improving the global stability of masonry buildings, enhancing their capacity to dissipate energy under seismic loadings. This paper aims at getting experimental in...

Although history reveals that air lime mortars with added vegetable fat (ALVF) were used very often in the past, little knowledge about them survives to modern times. Little is known about the influence of fat addition on the mortars’ durability, and some details about their manufacture and application are completely unknown. Even less is understood about the mechanisms that explain the behavior of ALVF-based m...
