Effects on fresh concrete. Workability. In general, the fineness of the limestone is the main factor that influences workability. ... The data shown in Table 1 indicate that the limestone content of cement can be increased from the level typically used in conventional portland cement (about 3.5%) to 15% while maintaining equivalent performance ...
Limestone (LS) is a sedimentary rock, which occupies around 15 % of the crust of the earth [1], [2]. The LS is the almost common pattern of CaCO 3 which is used widely for cement manufacture. Part of CaCO 3 may turn into dolomite by replacement with MgCO 3 at levels up to 46 %. In spite of most of the available limestones are pure, they contain less than 5 % …
However, it was reported that high-volume limestone powder concrete exhibited lower resistance to carbonation than high-volume fly ash concrete . Negative effect of limestone powder on the resistance to carbonation of concrete was also observed with the replacement ratio exceeding 10–15% .
558 Vol.38 No.3 C engmeng et al: Effect of High Content Limestone Powder on Micro... hydrates and an increase in compressive strength [22]. G Puerta-Falla et al found that MK increases the reactivity of limestone and enhances the formation of carboaluminate in the hydration products[23]. However, at present, the amount of LP used in
Generally, a high content of cement and low w/c ratio increase the autogenous shrinkage [5]. This is probably related to the bigger volume of fine-diameter pores and the existing water drop. The capillary forces are almost negligible before initial setting time [5] so that autogenous distortion is directly related to chemical shrinkage. Drying ...
Obtained results indicate that both tensile and compressive strength decreases with the increase of the limestone content in cement. Limestone can worsen or improve workability, depending on ...
In this study, the use of ground limestone powder not only increased the degree of reaction between CaCO 3 and cement, but also play a significantly role in nucleation and inert filling, and improved the microstructure of the cement stone. However, the activity of limestone powder is low, and if the dosage is too high, the amount of cement ...
It has physical effects (nucleation effect and dilution effect) and chemical effects on the hydration process of cement. This paper reviews the effects of three representative limestone materials on the hydration process, hydration products, and hydration kinetics.
It is recommended that the allowable limestone content of GP cement be increased from 7.5 to 12%, resulting in an estimated 6% reduction in CO2eq emissions associated with cement …
The effects of limestone powder (LP) of different fineness on the packing density, strength and hydration behaviour of cement blended with a high volume of LP were studied using Vicat setting time tests, strength tests, isothermal calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy.
Abstract. Sulfate attack in concrete structures significantly reduces their durability. This article reports the experimental findings on the effects of sodium sulfate on limestone calcined clay cement (LC 3) in an alternate wet and dry media.The samples underwent wet–dry conditions of 28 cycles.
Limited in-depth literature reviews have been conducted on the history, synthesis, hydration kinetics, and carbon footprint of limestone calcined clay cement (LC 3).This review paper extensively surveys, for the first time, the impact of various critical parameters on the performance of LC 3 paste, mortar, and concrete. BFBF These parameters include the role of …
During the hydration process, the net reaction heat of limestone waste in the cement blends ranged from 0.38 J/g to 4.1 J/g. In addition, the thermodynamic modeling and XRD indicated that the monocarbonate and hemicarbonate were stable in the limestone-cement blends, and the limestone waste increased the stability of ettringite.
Effects of LS from different sources on the workability of concrete were compared in [31].From Fig. 3, it can be seen that limestone from quarry waste (QLS) reduced the spread flow values of concrete, but those produced by direct grinding (PLS) increased the flow values of concrete which were mainly attributed to the surface morphology and fineness of the particles.
In this paper, the experimental study involving a 45 % replacement of cement demonstrates that the filler effect increases with the fineness of limestone. This is evidenced by …
The goal of this experimental study is to investigate and analyze the effect of high volume limestone powder content of up to 35% by weight. In the current article, particularly the test results including the fresh and hardened properties of SCMs with 0%, 15%, 25% and 35% limestone are presented while the fresh and hardened tets results of mortars with LSP are …
reflect the effects of weathered cement clinker, with high values indicating prehydration of the cement clinker. However, lime-stone additions also increase loss on ignition, and this increase may mask the effect of prehydration. Cement manufacturers agree that limestone additions will increase loss on ignition. But because the loss-on-ignition
Obtained results indicate that both tensile and compressive strength decreases with the increase of the limestone content in cement. Limestone can worsen or improve workability, depending...
However, for the high-strength concretes, the effect of limestone fines is different from the low-strength concretes, the incorporation of limestone fines in the high-strength concrete had litter effect on the durability factors, i.e., the relative dynamic modulus at 325 cycles varied between 94.3% and 98.3% for all series L mixtures.
The investigation considered the effect on chloride ingress into mortar and concrete specimens when the limestone mineral addition in cement was increased from nominally 4.5% to 10% and 15% and ...
1. Introduction. UHPC is regarded as the most promising cementitious material in the concrete industry [].However, the large amount of cementitious material required for the preparation of UHPC has increased global carbon dioxide emissions [2,3].There is a high potential to reduce the use of a cement clinker and CO 2 emissions by adding supplementary cementitious materials …

The ratio of limestone as aggregate in the concrete in 1974 was only 1.3%. Since then, the shipments and the usage of limestone have increased every year with the demand of concrete and the shortage of other natural aggregates as illustrated in Fig. 2. The ratio of limestone as aggregate exceeded 8% in 2003.
