报告内容Cement is the most widely used material globally due to its abundant supply and affordability. However, the massive scale of cement and concrete production contributes significantly to CO2 emissions, estimated at 5-8%. As a result, the pursuit of low-carbon cementitious materials has gained substantial attention in recent decades. Among these, Limestone Calcined Clay Cements (LC3) have gained considerable interest, which substitutes approximately half of the traditional cement clinker with calcined clay and limestone. This study investigated using Reclaimed Calcined Clay to produce LC3. The clays used were reclaimed from various China clay quarries stockpiled not suitable for producing ceramics and collected dust from brick manufacture. The behavior of Re-C3 concrete was examined in terms of its fresh and hardened properties to BS8500. The results showed that recovered UK clays can produce highly reactive calcined clay cements. In general, Re-C3s have a higher water demand and require a plasticizing admixture. The strength development rates suggest that calcined clay reactions contribute significantly to compressive strength from around 3 days and ‘largely’ complete by 14 days. Highly reactive pozzolans of calcined clays result in higher rates of carbonation, however, chloride resistance is exceptional, which means Re-C3s can be well applied for marine infrastructure construction.
