Comparison Between Lime Concrete and Cement Concrete

Abstract

This paper presents an experimental project in which lime is used as a cement replacement in concrete. The first stage of this research looks at the change in physical properties of a standard concrete mix when lime is substituted for cement. In the next stage, compressive strength of Lime concrete and cement concrete for 7, 14 and 28 days are compared. But it is observed that the compressive strength of Lime concrete is less than cement concrete. Hence it is concluded that cement cannot be replaced by lime in concrete.
