These glazings, mostly dating back to the 20* Century, are often of art-historical importance. This article focuses on the analysis of occurring damages and their causes and on the development of special repair mortars and repair concepts for these glazings, which were done in a recent research project. On several reference buildings compressive strength, reinforcement location and diameter, carbonation depth as well as moisture and salt profiles were determined exemplarily. At the time of the concrete glass Windows’ construction generally no sufficient care was taken for an adequate concrete covering of the reinforcement. Carbonation-induced reinforcement corrosion is therefore the main cause of the occurring damage. Standards dealing specifically with the repair of Dalles de Verre do not exist. Therefore the polymer modified repair mortar was development according to the German guideline “Protection and Repair of Concrete Structures” (RL SIB, 2001). However due to the unique boundary conditions ofthe Dalles de Verre glazings, thespecifications of this guideline alone are not sufficient, they need to be altered and amended. In the article the individual requirements on repair mortars for different application tasks are described. Furthermore, the development of the mortars’ formulations and of a test specimen for performance tests under realistic conditions is shown.

To provide the conservator with the best possible options to match colour, texture and technical requirements of the stone, the repairmortar System will be Setup on a modular basis. Different binder Systems are planned, which can be combined with different aggregate compositions and different pigments. The aim is to be able to modify the appearance of the mortar independent of ist mechanical properties. When working in the ränge of cultural heritäge, one specific demand is the Option of total reversibility of each repair task. In order to guarantee the reversibility and to ensure that the repair mortar does by no means induce any Damage to the original substance (e.g. by constraining forces), strength and stiffhess of the repairmortar have to be controlled and kept below the respective values of the original natural stone. On the other hand the mortar needs a certain abrasion resistance and durability. To accomplish all these requirements the use of polymer dispersions is very helpful, as they allow the production of low stiffhess mortars with at the same time relatively high flexural strength values. Also investigations on “alternative” modifications known from historical applications such as the use of casein are carried out.
