Compare the Strength Of Cement Mortar vs Lime Mortar

Civil Engineering

Cement Mortar Test are made with varied percentage of sand,cement,lime may varied accordingly depends on need. The addition of lime in the cement mortar is very less because excess addition may cause increase in percentage of water with same consistence. Hence the shrinkage may also occur. The addition of lime does not increase the strength of concrete. The concrete strength is increase only we add limited and needed water. The addition of lime is nothing it just increase the density of cement mortar that’s why lime is added. Hence the usage of lime only increase the workability and it is also low economic rate. Depend on the need of work the cement mortar water proportion is differ, There is always one question whether it is suitable or not so use of lime is the answer for this. The desirable changes in anyone material will affect other work also. In this exact result may not occur due materials change ,sand and also the climatic condition, storage condition.
