Investigation of the use of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) applied to Thailand

The replacement of clinker with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is the most interesting solution to reduce the CO2 emissions from cement production. The abundant availability of clays, which have a sufficient amount of kaolinite content in Thai ...

Hydro-mechanical response of Opalinus Clay shale: dependency on composition and burial depth

Eleonora Crisci

Shales are sedimentary formation currently studied for their involvement in many geo-energy related applications, such as radioactive waste disposal, CO2 sequestration, oil and gas extraction. In Switzerland the Opalinus Clay shale has been selected has ho ...

Assessing the Effect of Calcite Impurities in Clay on Optimal Dehydroxylation Parameters for Enhanced Reactivity

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

This study focused on understanding the influence of different amounts of calcite impurities (0 to 10% by mass) on the optimal parameters for clay dehydroxylation and the reactivity of the final calcined clay. A surface response experimental design was use ...

Autogenous Shrinkage and Creep of Limestone and Calcined Clay Based Binders

Karen Scrivener, Julien Ston, Adrien Jean Régis Maurice Hilaire

This study explored the delayed strains in limestone and calcined clay ternary blends. Autogenous shrinkage measurements are carried out over 2 months and compressive basic creep tests during 28 days after one month of curing. All tests are done using mixe ...

Calcined clay limestone cements (LC3)

Karen Scrivener, Shashank Bishnoi

The use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to replace part of the clinker in cement is the most successful strategy to reduce CO2 emissions in the global cement industry. However, limited supplies of conventional SCMs make it difficult to take ...

The Effect of Limestone on the Performance of Ternary Blended Cement LC3: Limestone, Calcined Clays and Cement

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva, Aurélie Rosine Favier, Ioannis Katrantzis

This project explores the influence of different particle size distributions of limestone on the workability and early-age strength development of LC3 materials. To quantify, and subsequently optimize, the packing, the modified Andreasen and Andersen model ...

Combined effects of daylight transmitted through coloured glazing and indoor temperature on thermal responses and overall comfort

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold, Giorgia Chinazzo

This study investigates the effect of daylight transmitted through three coloured glazing types (blue, orange and neutral) on thermal responses and overall comfort, at three temperature levels (19 °C, 22 °C and 26 °C). The goal is threefold: (i) understand ...

Enantioselective C-H Functionalization-Addition Sequence Delivers Densely Substituted 3-Azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexanes

Nicolai Cramer, Julia Pedroni

An enantioselective C-H functioffalization route to perfluoroalkyl-containing 3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]-hexanes is disclosed. A modular and bench-stable diazaphospholane ligand enables highly enantioselective Pd(0)-catalyzed cyclopropane C-H functionalization us ...

Nearly perfect GaN crystal via pit-assisted growth by HVPE

Dmitry Mikulik

We demonstrated 5 mm-thick bulk gallium nitride (GaN) with nearly perfect crystal quality. To achieve this, intentional etch pit formation by in situ dry HCl etching and ex situ wet etching in H3PO4 solution was employed on freestanding GaN templates follo ...

Investigation of the grade of calcined clays used as clinker substitute in Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3)

François Henri Avet

The combination of calcined kaolinitic clays and limestone in Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) is a promising approach to reduce the cost and the CO2 emissions of cement production by reducing the clinker content of cement. This thesis investigates the ...
