Compressive Strength

Lime concrete reaches 1450 psi, or about half of ordinary portland cement, at 90 days, and half of that in 28 days. [1]. To get more strength, other pozzolanic materials must be added.
Limestone is 9000 PSI. So why are we not attaining limestone strengths with lime concrete??? [2]
