Abstract The optimum content of ether polycarboxylate-based superplasticizer, determined by rotational rheometry, and its effects on the environmental impacts of concretes were studied for cement and limestone filler. To assess the consistency and water reduction, flow-table tests were performed. Then, cement content reduction and binder and carbon intensity indexes were determined through estimation based on theoretical concretes. The evaluated pure and blended cements present significant variability of the optimum consumption of the admixture. The fillers consumed less superplasticizer per area than the other materials and compositions with fillers allowed for greater reduction of water content. The mixtures with superplasticizer presented lower cement rate and binder and carbon intensity indexes. The usage of this type of admixture in optimal content can reduce environment impacts, according to the parameters analyzed.

Calcined clay has become the supplementary cementitious materials with the greatest potential to reduce the clinker/cement. In this research, the mechanical strengths and sulphate resistance of blended cements with a high content of calcined clay as a pozzolanic addition were evaluated to demonstrate that these cements could be designed as CEM (cement) type IV/A-SR and IV/B-SR cements by the current European standard UNE-EN 197-1: 2011. The blended cements were prepared by two Portland cements (P1 and PY6) with different mineralogical compositions and a calcined clay. The level of replacement was greater than 40% by weight. The results obtained confirm the decrease in the mechanical strengths and the increase in the sulfate resistance of the two Portland cements when they are replaced by calcined clay at a level of replacement greater than 40%. These results are a consequence of the chemical effect from the pozzolanic activity of the calcined clay. Therefore, there is an important decrease in portlandite levels of paste liquid phase that causes the increase in sulfate resistance and the decrease of the mechanical strengths.

The fundamental knowledge about the reaction mechanism of calcined clays in cement and the mutual interaction is important for their assessment as supplementary cementitious material and the resulting concrete properties. In this study, the hydration of two cements differing in alkali content and with the addition of a highly reactive, aluminum-rich metakaolin and one calcined common clay with low kaolinite content was investigated during the first 48 hours. For this purpose, four established methods that describe the early hydration were used: isothermal calorimetry, thermogravimetry, in-situ X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis of pore solution. This so far unique combination of methods enabled the understanding of the complex binder (cement-calcined clay) hydration behavior. The results showed considerable differences depending on type of calcined clay, its chemical-mineralogical composition, fineness and especially towards its reaction mechanism with aluminate clinker phases controlled by the composition of pore solution. The impact of calcined clay on the early clinker hydration exceeds significantly physical effects only.
