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

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 was used. Different systems were selected and studied using minicone tests and compressive strength (at 2, 7 and 28 days) to see which parameters govern workability and strength.
