The main research of Advanced Grouts for Masonry Consolidation project are:

-Improvement of natural hydraulic lime-based grouts performance, particularly in what concerns stability, strength and durability;

-Combination of organic and inorganic materials to improve the fresh grout behaviour;

-Optimization the grout formulations through rheometry;

-Evaluation of the injectability and mechanical characteristics by means of reduced physical models that simulate old stone masonries;

-Analyses of injection characteristics for different porous media using ultrasonic tomography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR);

-Contribution to the improvement of knowledge affecting both the scientific community and industry.
