Influence of limestone content, gypsum content and …

This paper examines the behavior of Portland limestone cements (PLCs) made by inter-grinding clinker, gypsum and limestone in a full size-cement plant, while varying the content of limestone filler (LF – 0% and 24%), content of gypsum (GC – 2.5% and 5.0%) and PLC fineness, measured as that fraction retained on a 45 μm sieve (R45 – 5% and 18%).

Structure and Properties of Portland-Limestone Cements

Portland cement is one of the most used materials on earth. Its annual production is responsible for approximately 7% of global carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions.These emissions are primarily associated with (1) the burning of fossil fuels to heat cement kilns and (2) the release of CO 2 during limestone calcination. One proposed strategy for CO 2 reduction includes the …

ShapedByConcrete – How Cement is Made

The first step is to quarry the raw materials necessary to make cement, which is mainly limestone coupled with clay and sand. Using fly ash or other byproducts to partially replace the raw materials keeps things like fly ash and industrial byproducts out of landfills and contributes to a circular economy.

Davis Wade Stadium Expansion and Renovation: Performance of Concrete

AbstractThis paper documents successful use of portland-limestone cement (PLC) with 50% replacement of cement using supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) during expansion and renovation of a college football stadium. Concrete becomes more sustainable as clinker content is reduced, and use of PLC in place of ordinary portland cement (OPC), e.g., such as per a …
