Using Lime in Civil Work

[@DevotedGamer1]

Great knowledge, please do a video on Lime with Rammed-Earth, Earth-Bag and Compressed- Brick building, foundations and walls

[@sarankumar4451]

Thank you for these great videos. It is a great deal of knowledge that you are providing here about this niche segment. There is very little info available on the internet for the enthusiasts. BTW, at 4:45, you have explained about the usage of regular ash as a Pozzolan. I reckon that you are specifying about kiln ash created from burning wood?! Which mainly consists carbon?! The actual Pozzolan(volcanic ash) of Roman times contained Silica and Aluminium so that the the Calcium can form Calcium Aluminates and Calcium Silicates which are stronger than CaCO3. The modern equivalent would be flyash which has them both. Ash is totally different from flyash. Please correct me if I am wrong. Looking forward to your response.

[@farmaanandaa]

Ah, Malvika would be better positioned to answer this. But the ash we used came from the Lime Kilns itself.

Love the series. We are using Lime based plaster in our interiors from a company in Los Angeles called Portola Paints, but its great to learn about more of the beneficial chemical properties.

[@farmaanandaa]

So glad you are enjoying this!

[@yalealy]

Thank you for this video!

[@farmaanandaa]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mughalkhelkhan9372]

Very useful. Thanks.

[@farmaanandaa]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ToshiSanglir-qx3cn]

Thanks for the info on the ratios!

[@sightofshadows]

Hello there! You all are doing a wonderful work to revive this beautiful sustainable practice. I am trying to use lime plaster on brick wall, what is the minimum time needed to slake Hydrated Lime before using it?

[@farmaanandaa]

I think it should be a month. You will be able to tell when the lumps break down completely and you get a nice thick creamy texture.

[@darshanjoshi1788]

Thank you for this informative video. I am tempted to make some lime mortar and plaster samples. The lime, crushed stone and surkhi proportion which was mentioned this proportion is by weight or by volume? Kindly let me know. Thank you again for a wonderful video.

[@farmaanandaa]

It is by volume .. good luck with your experiments! We are glad you enjoyed the video!!

[@ebrahimhajiameen5817]

superb

[@farmaanandaa]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Osama-Anwar]

Why are walls so thick? Is it architectural design or is it necessary for the application of lime mortar to have thick walls?

[@farmaanandaa]

Our walls are made of rammed earth. They are load bearing walls, and that is why they are so thick.

[@AmirSaleemShah]

Manisha ! Thanks for videos about Lime. What is different between " Slaked Lime " and " Fat Lime " ?

[@farmaanandaa]

I think fat like is a term coined by MLIME. It is pre hydrated lime available in bags. Slaked lime is what we get on site when we hydrate quick lime in a water tank

[@AmirSaleemShah]

@@farmaanandaa Thanks

[@muhammadmubeenislam]

I believe fat lime is the same as slaked lime because when lime is slaked for longer time, it becomes pure lime which is termed as 'fat lime'

[@AmirSaleemShah]

@@muhammadmubeenislam Thanks Sir

[@muhammadmubeenislam]

@@AmirSaleemShah you are welcome. If you need more help about the subject I can privide info.

[@parthshah6033]

Is that possible to use lime mortar in dedo(tile cladding )/flooring work?

[@farmaanandaa]

Probably yes

[@jeffreycollier1805]

Can lime be used for elevated slabs in lieu of concrete?

[@farmaanandaa]

No, simply because lime is not compatible with rebars

[@RakeshDas-uo1hl]

Hi, thank you for this wonderfull video. I am from Mayapur, West Bengal. My family has a small land around 1500 sq.ft. land where we want to build a small apartment around 4 floors. Will you recommend stabilised rammed earth or CSEB for the walls. For foundation of the building, the only option I'm getting is with Rebar cement foundation. Are there any other options? Do you know anyone who can make CSEB or stabilised rammed earth here in locally or nearby?

[@farmaanandaa]

Hello, why dont you check with Smell of the earth farm - they are only ones I know of, who have a multi storey earth building in west bengal. You can google them for their contact information. Good luck!

[@tandanielwijaya3047]

Sister can we combine ... Bricks from mud and straw. And then we plaster with lime? Or this is cannot?

[@farmaanandaa]

Sure you can.

[@tandanielwijaya3047]

[@tandanielwijaya3047]

@farmaanandaa sister how to make second floor? Still using steel and mud or anything else?

[@farmaanandaa]

@tandanielwijaya3047 pls see the playlist titled Sustainable House on our channel

[@abhinavaggarwal4062]

Hello, thanks a lot for this valuable information. I’m building a small cottage using lime and i wanted to keep the exterior brick walls unplastered. Do you think i should add a hardening agent like ash in my bedding mix to prevent water damage on the bricks. Also, is traditional lime white wash water repellent?

[@farmaanandaa]

Not sure about the bedding mix, as the question is not very clear to me. Lime wash is not water repellant. Do watch the video on Lime wash in this playlist itself.

[@rajeshjaiswal7809]
