    The document provides information on various topics related to construction materials and processes: 1) It discusses different types of lime, including quick lime which is produced from calcining pure limestone, and fat lime which swells when slaked. 2) It explains how adding pozzolana or surkhi to lime increases resistance to cracking and chemical attack, and decreases shrinkage. 3) When added to Portland cement, pozzolana causes less heat of hydration, decreases permeability, and increases shrinkage.
