heal.abstract	The indispensable properties which a well balanced mortar must retain are discussed. The text is mainly based on, the results of a series of tests performed in USA during the last thirty years, relating to the role of lime as a constituent for mortar and renders. More specifically the study deals with bonding of mortar to masonry units, and the durability of mortar and masonry, focusing on autogenous healing and efflorescence of masonry water retentivity of mortars, workability, and plasticity. All these properties are studied in relation to the strength of mortars. From the study it is concluded that even though lime contributes little to strength, it does provide the mortars with the desirable characteristics of workability, high water retentivity and maximum extent of bond.	en
