Lime Concrete:
- Lime concrete is a composite mixture of hydraulic lime(or slaked lime) as binding material, sand as fine aggregate, and gravel as coarse aggregate in appropriate proportions.
Cement Concrete:
- Cement concrete is a composite mixture of cement as binding material, sand as fine aggregate, and gravel as coarse aggregate in appropriate proportions
Difference between lime concrete and cement concrete:
- Lime hardens much more slowly than cement-containing mortars, making it much more workable.
- Lime is also less brittle and less prone to cracking, and any cracked areas can absorb carbon dioxide and mend over time.
- The cement hardens very quickly but may be too strong for some applications, e.g., working with old bricks.
