2015-3-26 {Question} My cement supplier is adding limestone to their cement. Is there anything to worry about? Will I have to reduce the fly ash content I normally use? {Answer} Recently, ASTM C150 was harmonized to meet the AASHTO M85 to allow up to 5% limestone in the cement. The history of limestone in cement is a little checkered, and as a result, there is some
ContactData from several sources show the mean ratio of compressive strength for concrete made with portland-limestone cement and without added limestone varies within a narrow range—from 0.97 to 1.05—at different ages.

Contact2014-2-1 The effect of limestone was studied by replacing portland cement with a ground limestone in concrete with different limestone replacement (15–30% by mass of binder), water/binder ratio (0.42–0.61) and binder content (250–400 kg/m 3). On the basis of results of experimental tests for the materials employed in this study, the following

ContactPOTENTIAL SAVINGS. A global clinker-to-cement ratio of 78% in 2006 meant that about 550-600 million tonnes of constituents other than clinker were used. The
ContactLime Saturation Factor (LSF) The Lime Saturation Factor is a ratio of CaO to the other three main oxides. Applied to clinker, it is calculated as: LSF=CaO/ (2.8SiO 2 + 1.2Al 2 O 3 + 0.65Fe 2 O 3) Often, this is referred to as a percentage and therefore multiplied by 100. The LSF controls the ratio of alite to belite in the clinker.
ContactFrom 2015 to 2020, the global clinker-to-cement ratio is estimated to have increased at an average of 1.6% per year, reaching an estimated 0.72 in 2020; this rise was the main reason for the increase in direct CO 2 intensity of cement production over the period.
