When selecting mortar, it is vital to anticipate its in-service behaviour after its application on substrates to make the most informed choice. Most of the research work carried out to date analyses the characteristics of mortar in laboratory specimens. Some studies analyse these characteristics after its application to support, but very few exist that compare both behaviours. With this objective in mind, this research determined the properties of mortar when cured within laboratory moulds and assessed the behaviour of the same mortar after application on diverse substrate types. This study specifically evaluated the behaviour of a pre-dosed hydraulic lime mortar when applied on concrete blocks, lightweight concrete blocks, concrete slabs, hollow ceramic bricks, and solid ceramic bricks. Later, this behaviour was compared to the same type of mortar hardened in laboratory moulds and the same type of mortar applied on substrates and subjected to accelerated ageing. Moreover, data from previous experimental work were used to compare the behaviour of the pre-dosed hydraulic lime mortar with that of pre-dosed cement mortar when applied on similar substrates. The research drew upon a comprehensive characterisation of the physical and mechanical parameters of mortar, revealing that the performance of these types of mortar undergoes significant changes after application on substrates under in-service conditions, mainly when applied on more porous substrates. It was concluded that the application of mortar to substrates increased bulk density, decreased open porosity, enhanced compressive strength, and resulted in faster capillary absorption. For mortars subjected to accelerated ageing, a notable reduction in water vapour permeability was observed, which was attributed to changes in the pore profile.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/coatings14070819","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,3]],"date-time":"2024-07-03T04:23:43Z","timestamp":1719980623000},"page":"819","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Performance and Accelerated Ageing of an Industrial Hydraulic Lime Mortar Applied on Different Substrates"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9059-1232","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafael","family":"Travincas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil Engineering, University of Coimbra, R.
