Limestone Calcined Clay Cements (LC 3) permit to continue decreasing the clinker factor in cement. Two widely-available Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) are used in LC 3 : calcined kaolinitic clays and limestone. The combination of these two SCMs allows additional reactions compared with conventional cements, leading to a high space-filling and excellent properties. Clays with only 40% of kaolinite can be used in LC 3 , providing sufficient strength, higher resistance to chloride ingress and alkali-silica reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
