Abstract: For many years lime mortar has been an indispensable building material used in all countries of the world. The position of lime mortar for restoration work has especially increased. Since one of the main factors of durability of historical and cultural monuments is the quality of mortar, it is necessary to select such components of mortar composition that determine its quality and durability. One of the most common methods of modifying the structure of composite building materials is the introduction of highly active micro- and nano-additives into their composition. Natural zeolites are used as additives to cement. Zeolites have attracted the attention of modern builders because of their unique mineralogical, chemical, and macroscopic properties. We have carried out a study of the influence of mineral additives (natural zeolite-clinoptilolite from different deposits) on the strength of lime mortar. Its composition, structure, and mechanical properties were determined using physicochemical methods of research.
