Abstract

Nowadays, the selection of construction materials depends not only on the economic or resistance characteristics but also the environmental effect, mainly for the energy usage, CO2 emissions and pollution produced during the processes to obtain them. Portland cement and lime can be used to produce solid vertical structures. Poured earth is a technique that can substitute concrete or cement mortars in edification, characterized by using less inorganic materials as cement, and soil of the surrounding environment. This paper proposes a method to analyze the use of lime and cement in solid, and show the basic analysis of lime and explain why it is impossible to have a 100% ecological product or renewable, but also it is possible to reduce emission with decrease of products according to the desired characteristic of the final material produced.
