This lecture covers the manufacturing process of hydraulic lime, which involves the combination of calcium oxide with hydraulic components like C2S, F, and A, as well as finely ground limestone and clay. It also explores the hardening properties of hydraulic lime, its applications in masonry, plaster, and exterior plasters, and its use in foundations. The lecture discusses the differences between hydraulic lime and cement mortar, highlighting the benefits of hydraulic lime in terms of plasticity, placement, and resistance.
