Cementitious Materials National Concrete Pavement
Aggregates make up most of the volume in concrete but it is a mixture s cementitious materials that bind its aggregates together Cements such as ordinary portland cement OPC and portland limestone cement PLC react with water in a nonreversible chemical reaction called hydration to form strong stiff and impermeable hydrated cement paste
Effect of blast furnace slag substitution for cement in carbon
Fig 7 shows the change in CO 2 emissions in the production of 1 t cementitious materials K1 K5 of which the CO 2 emission in K1 is large kg/t mainly because 70% of the high content cement comprising cementitious materials limestone decomposition and fossil fuel combustion produces 750 kg of CO 2 during the production of 1 t cement
