Experimental Investigation on Size-Effect of Rubble Stone Masonry Walls Under In-Plane Horizontal Loading: Overview and Preliminary Results

Rubble stone masonry is a common construction typology of historical city centres and vernacular architecture. While past earthquakes have shown that it is one of the most vulnerable masonry construction typologies, there are few experimental campaigns giv ...

Durability Challenges of Low-Grade Calcined Clay Opposed to High-Volume Fly Ash in General Purpose Concrete

Karen Scrivener, Matea Flegar

With the decrease in availability of common supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as fly ash in Europe, the search for appropriate SCMs should be dealt with locally. A com-bination of abundant low-grade calcined clay and limestone powder has pro ...

Going Below 50% Clinker Factor in Limestone Calcined Clay Cements (LC3): A Comparison with Pozzolanic Cements from the South American Market

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

Limestone calcined clays are a promising technology as they offer similar performance to OPC from 7 days onwards, while enabling a reduction of the clinker content of 50%. In some regions of the world like South America, pozzolanic cements (i.e., blended c ...

Report of RILEM TC 267-TRM: Improvement and robustness study of lime mortar strength test for assessing reactivity of SCMs

Karen Scrivener, Mathieu Antoni, Ruben Anton Snellings, Mohsen Ben Haha, Shashank Bishnoi, Xuerun Li, Pawel Tadeusz Durdzinski, Anuj Parashar, Yuvaraj Dhandapani

RILEM TC 267-TRM is studying tests for the reactivity supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). In the first phase, the lime reactivity (LR) test, which is standardised in Indian standard (IS)-1727, gave promising correlations with 90-days cement mortar ...

Oxidation of pyrite (FeS2) and troilite (FeS) impurities in kaolinitic clays after calcination

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

Valorisation of locally available clays for producing blended cements is crucial for a widespread adoption of sustainable binders incorporating these materials. In some places, clays can be intermixed with small amounts of iron sulfides, which could eventu ...

Clay calcination technology: state-of-the-art review by the RILEM TC 282-CCL

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva, Alastair Thomas Matthew Marsh, Mohsen Ben Haha, François Henri Avet, Shashank Bishnoi, Adrian Alujas Diaz, Anuj Parashar

The use of calcined clays as supplementary cementitious materials provides the opportunity to significantly reduce the cement industry's carbon burden; however, use at a global scale requires a deep understanding of the extraction and processing of the cla ...

Shear behavior of single- and triple-thickness masonry panels strengthened by bed-joint structural repointing

Ricardo Javier Serpell Carriquiry

Bed-joint structural repointing is a widely used strengthening technique in historic masonry constructions, particularly in applications where the material appearance needs to be preserved. Despite its wide use, limited research is available on the effecti ...

Maximizing the use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in blended cements

Yosra Briki

Partial replacement of clinker with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is an effective approach to reduce CO2 emissions related to cement production. However, there is a maximum substitution level with SCMs beyond which strength decreases. The und ...

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

Wilasinee Hanpongpun

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 ...

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 ...
