1、Designation: E 2260 03Standard Guide forRepointing (Tuckpointing) Historic Masonry1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 2260; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in p
2、arentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide applies only to existing historic masonryconstruction. For purposes of this guide historic masonry isintended to refer to buildings th
3、at have significant historic,architectural, cultural or social meaning and are constructed ofmasonry materials. Similar techniques and evaluation shouldbe employed for non-historic masonry, but are not addressed inthis guide.1.2 This guide outlines procedures for repointing historicmasonry and is in
4、tended to provide guidelines for the user toestablish project-specific requirements for repointing of his-toric masonry.1.3 This guide only pertains to masonry units: brick, terracotta, stone, cast stone, and concrete brick laid in mortar, andmay or may not be appropriate for other masonry units.1.4
5、 This guide addresses repointing (tuckpointing) as de-fined in 3.1.3.1.5 When considering repointing, especially on masonry ofartistic, architectural, cultural, or historical significance, guid-ance from a specialist experienced in historic masonry andrepointing should be sought.1.6 This guide does
6、not address pointing styles or profilesused on masonry or the methods of producing them.1.7 Additional repairs that may impact the structural integ-rity of the masonry may necessitate that a structural stabilityanalysis be completed prior to the execution of any work.1.8 Following this guide may inv
7、olve hazardous materials,operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport toaddress all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with itsuse. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard toestablish appropriate safety and health practices and deter-mine the applicability of regul

No standingwater should be visible in the joint.10.3 Preparation of Mortar:10.3.1 Mix dry mortar materials first. Add
17、enough water todry materials such that the mortar can be pressed into a ball byhand.10.3.2 Establish a period of prehydration of the repointingmortar. Prehydrate the mortar by mixing the dry materials withjust enough water to allow the mortar to be formed into a ballby hand. The prehydrated mortar s
18、hould then be allowed tostand for not less than one hour, nor more than one and one halfhour (BIA Technical Note 7F). Prehydration helps to reduceshrinkage cracks in the mortar joints. Adjust prehydration timeas necessary depending on weather conditions.10.3.3 After the prehydration period, mix mort
19、ar materialswith only enough water to be workable.10.3.4 Use mortar within two hours of final mixing.10.3.5 Adding additional water to the mortar to maintainworkability, known as retempering, can be performed duringthe two-hour period. Retempering of pigmented mortar maychange the color of the morta
20、r.10.4 Placement of Repointing Mortar:10.4.1 Manually insert repointing mortar into open joints.Fill the joints in three successive layers.10.4.2 Joints with significant voids should have mortarplaced into the void to partially fill the joint and be allowed toset. Subsequently, the joint should be p
21、ointed to the specifieddepth with at least two more layers of mortar.10.4.3 Compact each layer by striking with a compactiontool prior to placement of the next layer of mortar.10.4.4 Apply successive lifts and tool mortar joints whenthe repointing has achieved initial set.10.4.5 Selection of joint p
22、rofile should be made with con-sideration of the original profile, the amount and visualappearance of the existing mortar to remain, and the perfor-mance of the mortar joint as a function of its profile.NOTE 3Compression of the mortar during tooling makes concave,vee, and grapevine joints more weath
23、er-tight than rakes, flush, extruded,weathered, beaded, or struck joints.10.5 Curing and Protection:10.5.1 Cure new pointing lime-putty and non-lime-puttymortar in accordance with accepted procedures. Curing tech-niques are not covered in this guide.10.5.2 Clean any excess mortar from the face of ma
24、sonrywith water or the least aggressive effective technique. Thecleaning technique used should not have adverse effects on thesurfaces, substrates, related components, and adjacent surfaces.Cleaning should be performed when the mortar has reachedinitial set, but can still be removed. The timing of t
25、he cleaningshould be assessed during the preparation of the test areas.10.6 Protect the work from weather and construction activi-ties during and after the work until the mortar has cured.Curing time will vary depending on weather conditions.11. Visual Inspection of the Work11.1 Visual inspection of
26、 repointing procedures and materi-als should be required at regular intervals during the executionof the work. Visual inspection of completed areas and com-parison to approved samples and test areas should be madeunder similar lighting and exposure conditions. If cleaning themasonry after repointing
27、 is required, such cleaning should beconducted prior to a final visual evaluation of the work. Overallconsistency of color, joint configuration, and general appear-ance should be evaluated by visual inspection.12.
