International Conference of Production and Sustainable Use of Cement and Concrete

Production of durable concrete with a mineral addition blend of calcined clay-limestone-gypsum (LC2) and Portland cement

This article presents the evaluation of different concrete formulations produced with LC3 cement and LC2 mineral addition. The same includes studies of the properties of fresh and hardened concrete and a preliminary evaluation of its durability. LC3-50 2:1 cement-milled by intergrinding was used, Atenas Cements were combined with LC2 mineral addition, 90% Atenas Cement with 10% SikaFume. Atenas Cement, produced industrially at the Cuenca Ecuador plant, was used as a reference and the concrete was formulated for a dosage of certified concrete, for resistance of 35 MPa.
