Which of the following is a disadvantage of natural lime over modern cement?

  • A.Eco-friendliness
  • B.Lower compressive strength
  • C.Cost-effectiveness
  • D.Self-healing property

Answer: B

A disadvantage of natural lime compared with modern cement is its lower compressive strength. Lime mortar and concrete gain strength slowly by carbonation and stay weaker than cement-based ones. Eco-friendliness, cost-effectiveness and self-healing (lime can reseal small cracks by recarbonation) are listed as advantages of lime, not drawbacks.
