Abstract: Lime is a versatile material used from the ancient time of construction. It is mainly used as the binding material, also it offers greater durability and less strength compared to cement. The usage of lime is much reduced in the construction field when compared with the cement since cement produces greater strength. In this study, lime is added partially to the cement as lime-cement mortar for enhancing the strength by using different dosages of natural admixtures and also aimed to reduce the emission of Co2 on the environment. The different dosages of natural admixtures are 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%.
