Why do we need to know their differences?

 Historical Context
 Lessons for Modern Construction
 Sustainable Building Practices
 Historic Preservation and Restoration
Lime and Portland Cement
 Lime is heated to form quicklime
 Quicklime is used to have finer particles that can be easily
mix
 Quicklime is more reactive than lime and responsible for the
formation of lime clast
 It binds really well with the components of concrete that
forms cohesive bonds with the materials and resist shock
impacts
 Portland cement is a processed cement
Volcanic Ash
 When mixed with quicklime, lime clasts produced
 Plays an important role to create a pozzolanic reaction
(calcium silicate hydrate and calcium aluminate hydrate)
Hot mixing
 Lime clasts formed under extreme temperature
 Quicklime had been directly added into the concrete mixture
 Hydration process is accelerated
 The time for the concrete to be hardened is extended
 Reduce the risk of formation of cold joints
