As limestone is a new widely used mineral addition in cement, understanding the effects of this material on cement properties and hydration in a detailed manner is of substantial importance for efficient and proper usage. Consequently, the current study is designed. In the experiemental study, three different limestones were used. The aim of using different limestones is to reach broad generalisations by crosschecking the results and compare the effects of limestones with different structures. These limestones are a marble waste, an ordinary limestone aggregate for concrete and a chalky limestone. All limestones were added to portland cement clinker in 5, 10, 20 and 30 %, by weight, and cements are produced mby intergrinding. During the intergrinding process, grindability measurements were also conducted. In the study, standard physical and mechanical properties of the cements, particle size distributions, microstructure of 2 and 28 day pastes, early heat of hydration up to 72 hrs and flow values were investigated. The grindability results showed that grinding energy requirement to reach certain Blaine fineness decreases sharply with the usage of any limestone. In addition, limestone usage changes the particle size distribution of cements remarkably. Limestones are not suitable additions for separate grinding as this method results in inefficient energy consumption in grinding. Hydration studies yielded that limestone is not simply an inert filler material in cement and interferes with the hydration process. By heat of hydration studies of portland limestone cements, increase in initial heat of hydration rate, increase in peak rate and lenghtening of peak rate period as a result of limestone usage were exhibited. Limestones decrease the water requirements of cements as proved by normal consistency and flow tests. This is attributed to internal friction decrease emerged with usage of limestones due to smooth surface and nonporous structure of limestones. Setting times increase with usage of limestones. This provides with the possibility of using limestone as gypsum replacement material for set retarding. Compressive strengths of portland limestone cements were found to be similar to that of PC at 5 and 10 % addition amounts. However, further increase in addition amount brings about the need for more grinding to overcome the reduction in strength.

Hydration of alinite cement produced from soda waste sludge
Ucal, Gultekin Ozan; Mahyar, Mandi; Tokyay, Mustafa (2018-03-10)
Alinite cement is an alternative inorganic, low-energy binding material. This experimental study investigated hydration characteristics of alinite cement which was produced by using soda waste sludge as a raw material. Paste microstructures were studied by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Heat of hydration and compressive strength values were also determined. Formation of C-S-H gel and calcium chloroaluminate hydrates which resemble Friedel's salt was observed. Induction period of ...
Utilization of waste rubber tires in artificially cemented alluvial clay
AL-SUBARI, LUTF NAGI AHMED; Ekinci, Abdullah; Ferreira, Pedro Miguel Vaz; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2022-7)
Problematic soils possess unfavorable engineering properties that need to be treated before usage, whilst cement is one of the most common materials used for such purpose. However, cement production is one of the highest contributors to global CO2 emissions that cause global warming. On the other hand, a massive amount of waste rubber tires is being generated annually, which commonly are being disposed of in landfills causing many environmental and health problems. In this context, this study investigates t...
Mechanical properties, durability, and life-cycle assessment of self-consolidating concrete mixtures made with blended portland cements containing fly ash and limestone powder
Çelik, Kemal; Akgül, Çağla; Gursel, A. Petek; Mehta, P Kumar; Horvath, Arpad; Monteiro, Paulo JM (2015-02-01)
This paper reports the composition and properties of highly flowable self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixtures made of high proportions of cement replacement materials such as fly ash and pulverized limestone instead of high dosage of a plasticizing agent or viscosity-modifying chemical admixtures. Self-consolidating concrete mixtures are being increasingly used for the construction of highly reinforced complex concrete elements and for massive concrete structures such as dams and thick foundation. In this...
Synthesis of alinite cement using soda solid waste
Güneş, Aslı; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Öztürk, Abdullah; Department of Cement Engineering (2010)
This study is dedicated to give a production route for a kind of low energy cement called alinite cement using the waste material of soda industry as the main raw material. Soda solid waste, clay and minor amount of iron ore were mixed with certain quantities and burned at six different burning temperatures of 1050, 1100, 1150, 1200, 1350, and 1450 ºC. The resultant clinkers were investigated by mineralogical and chemical analysis. Mineralogical analyses were performed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) technique. ...
Ground granulated blast furnace slag, fly ash and zeolite as cement replacement materials
Keskin, Serhat; Yaman, İsmail Özgür (2009-01-01)
Cement incontrovertibly, is the major and the most widely used binder in the structural concrete. However, the production of cement requires high energy and concedes great amounts of contaminants. From both economical and environmental point of view incorporation of wastes or by-products from various industries in the production of cementitious materials, is an increasing trend in concrete technology. This article investigates the use of ground granulated blast furnace slag, obtained by grinding the by-prod...
