Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Calcined Clays for Sustainable Concrete (RILEM Bookseries, 10) 2015th Edition
by Karen Scrivener (Editor), Aurélie Favier (Editor)
This
volume focuses on research and practical issues linked to Calcined
Clays for Sustainable Concrete. The main subjects are geology of clays,
hydration and performance of blended system with calcined clays, alkali
activated binders, economic and environmental impacts of the use of
calcined clays in cement based materials.
Topics
addressed in this book include the influence of processing on reactivity
of calcined clays, influence of clay mineralogy on reactivity, geology
of clay deposits, Portland-calcined clay systems, hydration, durability,
performance, Portland-calcined clay-limestone systems, hydration,
durability, performance, calcined clay-alkali systems, life cycle
analysis, economics and environmental impact of use of calcined clays in
cement and concrete and field applications.
This book compiles the different contributions of the1st
International Conference on Calcined Clays for Sustainable Concrete,
which took place in Lausanne, Switzerland, June, 23-25, 2015.The papers
present the latest research in their field. It contains nearly 80 papers
and abstracts.
Overall, this work gives a broad view
of research on calcined clays in the field of construction and will
stimulate further research into calcined clays for sustainable concrete.
