Impact of Changing Microstructural Compositions of Lime Based Mortar on Flexibility: Case Study of Sustainable Lime-Cement Composites
Abstract:
Lime mortar, an age-long building material is primarily popular for its flexibility, the basis of its ability to accommodate masonry deformation, hence durability. However, lime’s characteristic delayed setting/hardening time, low mechanical strength and poor internal cohesion often characterised by volumetric changes have put its use into decline. These shortcomings have therefore relegated relevance of this…
