ABSTRACT

The majority of historic buildings and archaeological remains made of earth exhibit important conservation problems, which require consolidation (Barton 2009, Shao 2013). Earthen heritage conservation is always a scientific and complex task. Most conventional treatments used in the past have (Huang 2003, Li et al. 2011) often only limited success and, occasionally, led to a total failure due to esthetical, chemical or physico-mechanical incompatibility, as a result of white hazard, penetration depth and ageing problem (Slavíková et al. 2012, Karatasios et al. 2009).
