LIME CALCINED CLAY CEMENT (LC3): A Review

Abstract

Discovery of alternative to the pozzolanic materials generated from industrial wastes was needed because of its unavailability when the industries was shutdown permanently. Consumption of pozzolanic materials in concrete will be a safer solution for this problem. Numerous studies were presented for utilization of fly ash, Ground Granular Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS), Metakaolin and silica fume as a pozzolanic material in concrete. LC3 is a type of cement by mixing of limestone, calcined clay and gypsum, a few literatures were available on LC3. This paper presents the overview of research work presented on physical, chemical, performance in cement mortars like consistency, setting times & compressive strength, properties of fresh & hardened concrete like workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexure strength made LC3.
