Overview

Randomized trial compares adhesion evaluation criteria for mortar coatings in buildings, suggesting need for standard harmonization.

Key Points

  • This review aims to evaluate and compare the adhesion strength testing standards for mortar coatings, highlighting discrepancies in their criteria and implications for practice.
  • Compared adhesive evaluation criteria across three standards regarding mortar coatings.
  • Analyzed facade inspection test results from buildings in Brasília, Brazil.
  • Calculated degree of convergence between evaluation outcomes classified as pass, fail, or discarded.
  • The Brazilian standard for tensile bond strength showed more conservative assessments, increasing failure likelihood even near threshold values.
  • The European standard was more lenient but vulnerable to outliers impacting evaluations.
  • All standards lacked consideration for rupture modes, potentially compromising adhesion evaluation accuracy.
