Abstract Early-age cement paste or mortar can be enhanced by curing it in a CO 2 chamber. The study was initiated with investigation on the optimum compressive strength replacing to carbide lime 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% of Carbide Lime Waste (CLW) content. desired CLW at 28 normal age selected similar mix proportion again casted fresh cured for 1,3 7 days under controlled curing. concentration temp...

<abstract> <p>Porous building materials are often subjected to damage due salt crystallization. In recent years, the addition of crystallization inhibitors in lime-based mortar, has shown promising results improving durability this material against decay. Lime-based mortars have low mechanical properties and slow setting. They replaced with hydraulic binders overcome these limitatio...

A feasibility study on Usumacinta River sediment-based bricks for resilient housing adapted to both climate change and seismic risks is performed laterally loaded reduced-scale walls. Mortar formulations with different volume ratios of lime sand (2/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/6) are prepared while types thoroughly investigated, manufactured strength characterized. Commercial fired as reference completed the...

The use of lime as a binder in masonry lining mortars plays an important role its conservation and durability. Knowledge the mechanical characteristics pre-existing restoration is essential order to guarantee compatibility between them for avoiding appearance pathologies. paper mainly focuses on study performance lime-based be applied rehabilitation works old buildings. Four types were tested w...
