Abstract


The world is currently undergoing a climate change that is negatively affecting life on earth due to the rise in its temperature. This change can have catastrophic consequences for humanity and the Earth if effective and corrective measures are not taken to avoid reaching the tipping point. Faced with these environmental and ecological issues, the use of traditional construction and the search for alternatives to portland cement has encouraged the further use of the hydraulic lime, a traditional binder known for its ecological and hygroscopic performance. The formulation of high quality lime concretes and mortars that meet the requirements of the work needs the control of the setting mechanisms of the binder. This paper presents a bibliographical synthesis using a qualitative approach on the characteristics of hydraulic lime as well as the main results of the studies carried out on the parameters influencing these setting mechanisms, such as the cementing index, the pozzolanic element content, the curing conditions, the dosage of lime concretes and the adjuvants. In order to overcome the disadvantages that limit the use of hydraulic lime, namely the relatively low setting speed and the absence of effective formulation formulas, recommendations such as the use of carbon cure technology have been suggested. In conclusion, perspectives for the use of lime in the future, such as hemp concrete for thermal insulation and load-bearing lime concrete for the construction of low-rise structures through monolithic structure technology, especially for Morocco, have been highlighted.
