Portland Limestone Cement for Reduced Shrinkage and Enhanced Durability of Concrete
Abstract
Here in this research, different cementitious systems have been used to investigate shrinkage of concrete under plastic, and drying conditions. Emphasis has been laid on portland limestone cement (Type IL (10)) with replacement amounts of 10% of portland cement. Comparisons have been made with a cement type with low Blaine fineness, i.e. coarse ground cement. Results indicate that Type IL cement has good shrinkage results, without adversely affecting other engineering properties of concrete, such as strength, resistivity, degree of hydration, and setting time. This is likely due to an improved particle packing, access to more nucleation sites for the hydration products, and the formation of calcium carbo-aluminate hydrates. Scanning electron micrographs of coarse ground cement paste also indicate a retarded degree of hydration compared to Type I/II portland cement paste.
