ABSTRACT
Portland-limestone cements (PLC) have been used in practice for a considerable
period of time in several countries. In 2008, the CSA A3000 cements committee approved
the addition of a new class of cement with up to 15% interground limestone.
The main advantage of producing Portland-limestone cement is its contribution
to sustainable development. By introducing limestone into cement, the total volume of
cement would increase, or in other words, the amount of clinker required to produce a
certain amount of cement would decrease. This would result in a substantial amount of
energy saving in the production of cement as the consumption of natural raw materials
and the fuel needed for production of clinker would be reduced. Moreover, it would
contribute to sustainable development due to the reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions, mostly CO2 and NOx, involved in the pyro processing of clinker. On this
basis, the future world production of Portland-limestone cement is expected to increase.
Nevertheless, it should be noted that all the aforementioned benefits can only be achieved
provided that Portland-limestone cement has similar performance characteristics to
Portland cement, and has no adverse effects on the properties of concrete.
The properties of Portland-limestone cements have been the subject of numerous
studies. Researchers have studied the effect of using Portland-limestone cement with
various limestone contents on fresh properties, mechanical properties, and durability of
concrete.
This seminar paper covers a brief introduction to Portland Limestone Cement, its
properties, equivalent strength, equivalent durability and Shrinkage properties
