It has been well-documented that limestone powder in concrete mainly showed filler, nucleation, dilution and chemical effects, and they were influence by the particle size, dosage, dissolution rate, polymorph of limestone powder, mineral composition of cement and supplementary cementitious materials [9], [10], [11], [12].
This paper reports the strength-promoting mechanism of alkanolamines on limestone-calcined clay cement (LC 3).The hydration kinetics, phase formation and microstructure of LC 3 with triethanolamine (TEA) or triisopropanolamine (TIPA) were investigated. TEA enhanced the strength of LC 3, while TIPA was effective at 28 days, …
This national and international issue affects the construction industry through the cost and the quality of concrete. Currently, this sand, too fine to be used alone as fine aggregate in concrete mixes, is always mixed with an appropriate percentage of crushed limestone sand to meet the standard grading.
The new concrete standard means there will be more lower-carbon options available. Until now CEM I could be combined with either fly ash, a by-product from power generation, or ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), a by-product from the steel industry. Now the standard permits powdered limestone to be included as a third …

The binder used in this study includes general purpose (GP) cement, calcined clay, and limestone. The characteristics of GP cement complies with Australian Standard AS 3972 [28], which is presented in a previous study [29].The calcined clay was produced by rotary kiln calcination and acquired as an industrial product.
1. Introduction. Given the potential supply problem of conventional supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as fly ash or ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS), the involvement of limestone in Portland cement has been a point of discussion [1, 2].Indeed, from the perspective of its sufficient supply, Portland …
However, the high cement dosage (typically 1000–1500 kg/m 3) in conventional high-strength SHCC leads to high environmental impacts, while using high-dosage conventional supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) to replace cement typically leads to low strength. This study aims to solve this conflict by using ternary SCM to develop high ...
1. Introduction. Concrete is the most popular building and construction material in the construction sector and related areas. However, every ton of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) produced emits 0.6 to 1.4 amount of carbon di-oxide (CO 2) depending on the specific country and production process (Hanifa et al., 2023; Ren et …

Table 1 lists the chemical compositions of P.I. 52.5 cement, calcined clay, limestone, and gypsum. In China, dolomitic limestone is distributed over a wide region. It has a relative high amount of mineral dolomite (CaMg(CO 3) 2) and silica.Such limestone is also widely distributed in contries such as India [25], Germany [26] and Spain [27].Therefore, using …
Based on extensive research on application of LS in cement, the European standard first introduced and defined Portland-limestone cement in 1987, and allowed replacing Portland cement with 15 ± 5% LS [19]. In 2000, the European standard (EN 197-1) defined different type of Portland cement blends with LS [20], and the allowable …
