Physical characterization methods for supplementary cementitious materials [PDF]
Materials and Structures, 2014 The main supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) that are used today are industrial by-products. In most cases the quality of these materials cannot be controlled during their production, resulting in materials with varied characteristics. The adequate physical characterization of SCMs is important to better predict their performance and optimize ...

Concrete Mix Strength and Permeability with Various Supplementary Cementitious Materials [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 In order to reduce the amount of cement required, improve workability, mechanical properties, and durability, and have a positive environmental impact, supplementary cementitious materials are frequently utilized as a partial replacement for cement in ...

Recent developments in reactivity testing of supplementary cementitious materials
RILEM Technical Letters, 2021 Identification and rapid characterization of novel supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is a critical need, driven by shortfalls in conventional SCMs. In this study, we present a discussion of recently developed reactivity tests – the R3 test, the

Reutilization of Ceramic Waste as Supplementary Cementitious Material
, 2023 The production of Portland cement (PC) has the highest environmental impact among the different components of concrete. Also, although ceramic prod-ucts are consumed worldwide and constitute a significant fraction of construction and demolition waste, significant amounts of ceramic waste (BCW) are simply landfilled or used as road sub-bases.

Assessing, Understanding and Unlocking Supplementary Cementitious Materials
RILEM Technical Letters, 2016 The partial replacement of Portland clinker by supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) is one of the most popular and effective measures to reduce both costs and CO2 emissions related to cement production. An estimated 800 Mt/y of blast furnace slags,

Vegetable ashes as Supplementary Cementitious Materials [PDF]
Cement and Concrete Research, 2018 [EN] Approximately 140 billion metric tons of biomass are produced every year in the world from agriculture. The ashes resulting from firing agricultural wastes such as rice husk, sugar cane and others can be used as Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM). They can be mixed with lime alone or in ternary mixtures with Portland cement and lime.

Overview of clay as supplementary cementitious material [PDF]
5th Symposium on Doctoral Studies in Civil Engineering, 2019 Locally available materials, like clays, present a potential to meet the growing concrete demand and to produce more sustainable material. This paper reviews the behaviour of common clay minerals (kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite) giving an insight into the complexity of clay soils that usually appear as mixtures of minerals and impurities.
