Influence of Low- to Medium-Kaolinite Clay on the Durability of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) Concrete
The kaolinite content is principally responsible for the durability performance of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3), which calls into question its global applicability. The clay supply has a significant impact on the LC3 system's reduced carbon footpri ...
MDPI2023Unsupervised Electrofacies Clustering Based on Parameterization of Petrophysical Properties: A Dynamic Programming Approach
François Fleuret, Karthigan Sinnathamby
Electrofacies using well logs play a vital role in reservoir characterization. Often, they are sorted into clusters according to the self-similarity of input logs and do not capture the known underlying physical process. In this paper, we propose an unsupe ...
SOC PETROPHYSICISTS & WELL LOG ANALYSTS-SPWLA2023Effect of the mineralogical composition on the elastoplastic hydromechanical response of Opalinus Clay shale
Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Eleonora Crisci
Opalinus Clay is the shale currently under investigation as the host formation for geological radioactive waste disposal in Switzerland. Its hydromechanical response has been widely studied, and the experimental results show a range of values whose dispers ...
2021The impact of calcite impurities in clays containing kaolinite on their reactivity in cement after calcination
Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva, Emmanuelle Boehm Courjault
The use of supplementary cementitious materials as a partial replacement for Portland cement is the most effective way to reduce the carbon footprint of the concrete industry. Raw clays containing kaolinite (kaolin) are promising substitute materials. In t ...
SPRINGER2020Investigation of C-A-S-H composition, morphology and density in Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3)
Karen Scrivener, Emmanuelle Boehm Courjault, François Henri Avet
In this study, the C-A-S-H composition, morphology and density are characterized for Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3-50) blends containing clays with various kaolinite contents. Significant incorporation of aluminium is observed for LC3-50 blends compa ...
