coating mortar, sustainability, methodi ordinatio, systematic reviewAbstract
This study aims to analyze scientific production on the durability of rendering mortars. To this end, the Methodi Ordinatio method was applied in a bibliometric review of articles published between 2018 and 2023. A total of 323 studies were identified across four databases, of which 16 met the selection criteria. The studies indicate that research on rendering mortars is mainly focused on mechanical properties, particularly compressive and flexural strength. About durability, water absorption and carbonation resistance tests are the most used indicators of degradation, although the lack of standardized regulations makes it difficult to compare results across studies. A growing trend toward the use of alternative materials with promising results in improving performance and reducing environmental impacts was also observed. In addition, the application of Life Cycle Assessment tools reinforces the need to integrate durability and sustainability, promoting more efficient and long-lasting construction solutions.
