Description
Summary:This work aims to valorize a mineral and natural resources such as the Limestone Fillers (F-Lime) and the Natural Pozzolan (PN) by incorporating them into the formulation matrix of cement or concrete. In order to minimize the CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, to reduce the energy and raw materials consumption and as well as, to improve the physical and mechanical properties in fresh cement paste and of mortar or concrete in the hardened state. In this present manuscript, we substituted the clinker by the combination between the F-Lime and NP at 40% by weight of cement with steps of 5% with the admixture of superplasticizers. The influences of the incorporation of these additions on physical and mechanical properties of mortar or concrete in the fresh cement paste and hardened state were evaluated. The obtained results by different formulations elaborated to show that the replacement a part of clinker by the mixing of F-Lime and PN has produced a new hydraulic binder eco-friendly and durable with improved physicochemical, physical and mechanical properties. These results show that we have succeeded to manufacture, characteristic and formulated of new ecofriendly hydraulic binder and sustainable with improved physical, chemical, and mechanical properties while minimizing greenhouse gas emissions on one hand and the reducing the energy raw materials consumption on the other hand.
