Workshop on Lime Based Materials for Repairing Historic Structures

The workshop titled “Lime based materials for repairing historic Structures” has been decided in the frame of RILEM TC 277-LHS, which has started its activities in October 2017. The scope of it is to create an interactive forum with academics, researchers, professionals, other stakeholders for presenting the work done and have a feedback from the real needs of practice. Unified and harmonized test procedures specific for lime based repair materials are promoted for the upgrading of the quality of repair works and facilitating the market of these materials. Distinguished scientists will participate as invited speakers. The core members of RILEM TC 277-LHS who were also members of previous RILEM TCs, TC 157-COM, TC 203-RHM, TC 243-SGH wish this workshop to be devoted to the memory of the distinguished members of the aforementioned previous RILEM TCs who passed away: Prof. Luigia Binda, Polytecnico di Milano, Dr Eric F. Hansen, Getty Conservation Institute, Dr Thorborg Von Konow, Conservation Institute, Finland.

The event is organized to give the attendants the opportunity to meet RILEM senior members in a relaxed and informal environment and to chat about their experiences in RILEM. A short (10-15 min) presentation will also be given to explain the mission of RILEM.
