Abstract

Mortars of this type are made with sand and use lime as a binder. There are two basic types of lime for traditional lime mortars - non-hydraulic and hydraulic limes. They should not be confused with sand, lime and Portland cement mortars, regardless of the relative proportions of the lime and Portland cement.
