Abstract: 
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the new lime binders from two types of limes (Natural Hydraulic Lime-NHL 3.5 and Slaked Lime-SL) and Metakaolin (MK). Several mixtures composed of MK, lime and admixtures were made to explore their mechanical properties, hardening and shrinkage. The incorporation of glycerol carbonate and potassium sulfate into alternative binders resulted in a greater improvement of compressive strength and limitation of shrinkage.
