Comparative Valorisation of Lime Waste into Lightweight Aggregates in Nairobi and Nantong

Experimental data from a comparative study submitted to Case Studies in Construction Materials. The dataset contains 11 structured sheets covering chemical composition, mix designs, mechanical performance, particle size distribution, water absorption, bulk density, porosity, embodied carbon, material costs, and statistical analysis. It was last updated on 2026-05-05.

Use Cases

• Compare mechanical performance of aggregate formulations based on compressive and tensile strength data.
• Analyze the environmental impact of waste valorisation based on embodied carbon calculations.
• Evaluate material cost-effectiveness for local production based on supplier quotation data.
• Study microstructural properties of aggregates based on XRD, SEM, and XCT characterization data.
• Perform statistical comparison of results between two cities based on ANOVA output.

Strengths

• Contains 11 structured sheets covering multiple aspects of the experimental study.
• Mechanical performance data includes mean values with standard deviation for n=3 replicates.
• Comparative analysis includes data from two distinct geographic locations: Nairobi, Kenya and Nantong, China.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
