LC3 Technology

Comparative Study on LC3‐50 with OPC Concrete Using Raw Materials from Pakistan

Unattributed — August 3, 2023

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering

The cement industry is expanding rapidly around the globe, despite its significant contribution to global carbon dioxide emissions. Likewise, in Pakistan, the cement industry produces million tons of cement and has a history of contributing as high as 10% of the country’s carbon dioxide emissions annually. The most effective technique for reducing carbon dioxide emissions is to use supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3‐50) is a recently developed cement blend comprised of 50% clinker, 30% calcined clay, 15% raw limestone, and 5% gypsum by weight. The focus of this research is to assess the mechanical properties and durability performance of LC3‐50 cement composition formulated using raw materials from Pakistan.
