Development of on-site mixed mortar with hydrated lime for plastering

Hydrated lime is a lime powder which contain mainly calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)₂ which produced from the limestone. As the calcium hydroxide will undergoes carbonation and will absorb carbon dioxide in the air, therefore, it may reduce the usage of cement if replacement of cement with hydrated lime is...
