The effect of alkali hydroxides and equilibration time on Al uptake by calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H)
Cement production accounts for approximately 8% of man-made CO2 emissions. Lowering these CO2 emissions is currently one of the most important and urgent research topics within the cement community. To reduce these emissions, the Portland cement (PC) is pa ...
EPFL2021Efficacy of SCMs to mitigate ASR in systems with higher alkali contents assessed by pore solution method
Karen Scrivener, Lionel Sofia, Marie Joshua Tapas
This study demonstrates the efficacy of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to mitigate alkali-silica reaction (ASR) even when used in conjunction with cement of higher alkali contents (up to 1% Na2Oeq). The expansion of concrete prisms was studied ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2021The Influence of some calcined clays from Nigeria as clinker substitute in cementitious systems
Karen Scrivener, François Henri Avet, Akindehinde Ayotunde Akindahunsi
This paper examines the possibility of the use of some clays calcined from Nigeria as partial substitutes for clinker in the production of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3). The clays were calcined in the oven at a temperature of 800 degrees C and for o ...
ELSEVIER2020Impacting factors and properties of limestone calcined clay cements (LC3)
Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva, François Henri Avet, Julien Ston, Aurélie Rosine Favier, Hamed Maraghechi, Wilasinee Hanpongpun
This paper details the main factors influencing the performance of limestone calcined clay cements (LC3). The kaolinite content plays a major role in the rheological properties as well as strength development. Even in the presence of secondary phases, kaol ...
ICE PUBLISHING2019Plagioclase Glomerocrysts: taking the pulse of volcanic eruptions
Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Anders McCarthy
Volcanic eruptions result from complex interplay of magmatic processes including the ascent and storage of magma in the crust, volatile exsolution and crystallization. The dynamics of crystallization in shallow subvolcanic systems and the consequences of i ...
2019Investigation 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 ...
EPFL2019The Effect of Alkali on the Properties of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3)
Karen Scrivener, Wilasinee Hanpongpun
The impact of alkali content on the properties of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) was investigated in this study. KOH was added in order to increase the alkali content of the blended cements from 0.44% Na2Oeq to 1.21% Na2Oeq. The increase of alkali ac ...
Springer2018From rock to magma and back again: The evolution of temperature and deformation mechanism in conduit margin zones
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Michael Heap
Explosive silicic volcanism is driven by gas overpressure in systems that are inefficient at outgassing. The zone at the margin of a volcanic conduit-thought to play an important role in the outgassing of magma and therefore pore pressure changes and explo ...
Elsevier2017Forced Electrocodeposition of Silica Particles into Nickel Matrix by Horizontal Impinging Jet Cell
Hubert Girault, Véronique Amstutz, Desire Martial Koutouan Abro
The improvement of silica particle codeposition into a nickel electrodeposited composite coating (ECC) by a double face horizontal impinging jet cell (IJC) has been studied. The microstructure of coatings was examined by means of scanning electron microsco ...
2017Phase transition processes of olivine in the shocked Martian meteorite Tissint: Clues to origin of ringwoodite-, bridgmanite- and magnesiowilstite-bearing assemblages
Tissint is a heavily shocked olivine-phyric shergottite. We investigated and documented several phase transformations and dissociation phenomena of olivine adjacent to and in many shock-induced melt-pockets of Tissint. Olivine grains entrained in the melt- ...
