Stone minbar is considered one of the most interested elements that back to Mamluk and Ottoman period. That often made of carved limestone, marble and alabaster. To understand the deterioration mechanisms firstly we must study lithology and petrography description of minbar building materials and realizing physical, mechanical and other properties of these materialsStudy of deterioration factors in addition to determination minbar building materials properties contributing to understand the nature of deterioration phenomena.Evaluation of Physical and chemical Properties of proposed Reinforcement,Stabilization and Joining Materials, cleaning materials and methods and Consolidation, filling cracks and completion materials through an experimental study are very interested to have a satisfied results for carrying out an active conservation process |
