Abstract :
The bond which develops during curing in lime paste mortars in the presence of Mg(OH)2 or MgO and moisture in lime paste is a result of the growth of a new phase. Scanning electron microscopy studies along with X-ray analyses show this new phase to consist of common hydromagnesite (Mg5(CO3)4(OH)2,4H2O). This development is accompanied by an increase in the mechanical strengths of lime mortars.
