The authors of this report are the members of RILEM technical committee 203-RHM Repair Mortars for Historic Masonry which was created in September 2003 as a successor to RILEM technical committee 167-COM Characterisation of old mortars with respect to their repair. The aim of both committees was to develop methods and recommendations to improve the quality of restoration practices in the field of repair mortars for older (historic) masonry. An important reason for forming the committees was to give guidance on appropriate mortars and practices to avoid the many mistakes which had been occurring in practice in choosing repair mortars for existing masonry, thereby greatly increasing the risk of damage. Badly needed were recommendations based on the phenomena which play a role in regard to the compatibility of mortar and brick and aspects such as long-term quality and durability of masonry. The target group for this publication include architects, engineers, contractors and researchers.
