Abstract
Mortars are materials that are present in constructions from the antiquity to nowadays, being complex in terms of their constituents, incorporating traditions and techniques related to the local knowledge. Furthermore, mortar characteristics are also dependent of its role and use in a particular local and environment. The knowledge of the mortars constituents, characteristics and behavior in their specific conditions is important in several contexts, namely in terms of materials history and for better definition of conservation strategies. That knowledge, obtained by many different researchers and practitioners of the area, should be easily available for all the people who need it, both for
research and for direct use in the field. This was the context of the DB-HERITAGE database project (http://dbheritage.lnec.pt/), which intends to build a repository for historical building materials, and a free-access IT-tool to collect the related data on this construction material, including from conservative interventions made on mortars applied on historic constructions. An overview of the database
tools will be presented in this paper, exemplifying some of its outputs and potentialities related to historic mortars in different case studies in Portugal.
