The most popular type of concrete in use these days is Portland and lime is an ingredient
No it is not. Hydrated lime and concrete are quite different. hydrated lime is an addative similar to cement and used in concrete to improve the strength. it can also be added to soil to improve stability etc. typically concrete is a mixture containing different % of rock, cement/lime, fly ash, water. lime is a cheaper then cement however not aas effective and takes longer to harden. -civil engineering student
Free lime in cement refers to unhydrated particles of calcium oxide present in the cement paste. It can negatively impact the strength and durability of the concrete mixture by leading to expansion, cracking, and reduced long-term performance. To ensure good quality concrete, free lime content should be minimized during the manufacturing process.
Roman concrete is made of a mixture of lime, volcanic ash, and aggregate such as sand, which was used to form a durable and water-resistant material for construction. The volcanic ash acted as a pozzolan, reacting with lime to form calcium-aluminate-hydrates that enhanced the strength and durability of the concrete.
Typically, a 90 lb bag of concrete mix would require around 1.8 lbs of lime if using a 2:1 ratio of sand to cement. However, it's essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions on the concrete mix bag for the correct proportions for your specific project.
Acids like hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid can dissolve concrete. To safely and effectively remove dissolved concrete, neutralize the acid with a base like baking soda or lime, then rinse with water. Use protective gear and follow safety guidelines when handling acids.

Concrete IS nature, the aggregate is crushed rock, the cement is made of natural lime and clay, mix these together with water and you get concrete.

concrete due to lime which neutralizes acid and toxicities in rain thus purifying before it runs into storm sewers which goes into the waterways
Roman concrete consisted of the same basic elements as present day concrete which is an aggregate and a binder. For the aggregate the Romans used pulverized rubble, broken tiles and rock. A volcanic debris called "pit sand" was also used. For the binder, gypsum and lime was used.
