Lime Mortar with PFA (Pulverised Fly Ash / Pulverised Fuel Ash)
Compressive and Flexural Strength of Non-Hydraulic Lime Mortar with PFA Pozzolan
This paper investigates the properties of non-hydraulic (lime putty) lime mortar containing PFA (fly ash). Non-hydraulic lime mortars with PFA offer a more sustainable alternative to cement based mortars without compromising setting time or strength whilst offering improved flexibility and breathability.
