It is important that the materials used in the preservation, repair and reinforcement applications of these structures should be compatible with the existing structure. In many of the historical buildings in Turkey, it was reported use of the Khorasan mortar as the masonry mortar and plaster. Khorasan mortar contains slaked lime as a binder, river sand, and clayey materials as aggregate, which are fired at high temperature. It was emphasized that this mortar is an essential building material widely used in the construction and repair of historical buildings from past to present. In this study, the effects of binder, aggregate, chemical admixture, organic admixture, and fiber properties on the mechanical and durability performance of Khorasan mortar and lime-based mortar mixtures were investigated. For this purpose, a comprehensive literature research was carried out on this subject. In addition, the positive and negative effects of these materials on the mortar mixture were emphasized.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessKhorasan mortarFiberChemical admixtureMechanical propertiesDurability performanceScience & technologyTechnologyEngineering, chemicalMaterials science, multidisciplinaryMechanicsEngineeringMaterials scienceMechanicsReview00062906200000125072528352310.1080/01694243.2021.18988591568-5616
