The use of Portland cement in the binder has a significant role in providing strength to the concrete in comparison to only lime-based binders [4]. However, because of the large amount of CO 2 that is generated in the production of Portland cement and even hydrated lime, other admixtures such as meta -kaolin to reduce the carbon footprint …

Unlike Portland cement, the solid component of alkali-activated binders can be entirely waste-stream materials, particularly fly ash and blast furnace slag, used with very limited further processing. It has been estimated that substituting alkali-activated binders for Portland cement in concrete can reduce CO 2 emissions by more than …

Cement – which is the "glue" that joins concrete – is a fine powder made from crushed minerals, such as limestone and clay, which act as binders.. Cement can be made from a variety of materials, but it cannot be used alone. In fact, Roman cement was crushed with burnt lime, volcanic ash, and brick supplements. Today, Portland cement is …

The captured CO 2 is then activated, often through a chemical process, to convert into a reactive form used in concrete production. The activated CO 2 is mixed into the concrete mix during the batching process. It can partially replace cement, which is the primary binder in concrete.

A mixture of soil, portland or blended cement, and water. When first mixed, SC looks like native soil, and it is then placed and compacted in lifts using typical earthmoving equipment. However, the cement acts as a binder between the soil particles and, like cement-treated base (CTB), the SC gains strength and durability as the cement hydrates.

Introduction. The term "alternative cement clinker" as used here refers to a man-made mineral material that, when ground to a fine powder, is capable of reacting sufficiently rapidly with water and/or CO 2 in such a way as to produce a hardened mass which can be used as the binder in a concrete or mortar and which will harden rapidly …

The characterisation of the materials and binders revealed that the binders satisfied the requirements stipulated in codes for pozzolanic cement (ASTM C618 [36] and BS EN 197–1 [35]) and can, therefore, be certified for use in cementitious composites. The binders were, thereafter, incorporated in concrete to evaluate their performance in ...
