“…It was found that the compressive strength of only MCCC-10 and MCCC-20 mortars increased up to 6.15% and 1.12%, respectively, for 7 days of curing age. Marchetti et al [ 4 ] reported a reduction in the compressive strength of the natural illitic shale of Olavarria, Argentina, calcined at 950 °C blended in concrete at early ages of 2 and 7 compared to the control mixture. Therefore, the authors maintained that higher MCC content in concrete mixtures decreases the material’s mechanical properties.…”

“…SCMs are mostly siliceous/aluminous finely segregated dense crystals that react with cement composite chemically and deplete calcium hydroxide to form a more cementitious product [ 1 ]. Improved mechanical, durability, and microstructural properties have been reported for SCM-based concrete and mortar [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]. The production of concrete is influenced by many factors, such as strength, workability, water-binder ratio (W/B), and durability targets which will be uncertain until a specific application is established.…”

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) have been widely used to enhance both the microscopic and macroscopic properties of the Portland cement (PC)–SCM composite matrix. Few studies have been undertaken to establish the gel/space ratio of meta-illite calcined clay (MCC) and rice husk ash (RHA)-based high-performance concrete (HPC) mortar. This experimental paper describes a conventional degree of hydration (non-evaporable water) and porosity routes of establishing a link amid the gel/space ratio and compressive strength of a sieved mortar from Class 1 (50–75 MPa) HPC at an early age. Using the non-evaporable water method, this paper predicted the gel/space ratio of the hardened MCC/RHA-based HPC mortars and curved fitted into Powers’ exponent equation. The results from this study revealed that MCC or RHA additions (5–30% by weight of PC) to the PC-SCM matrix led to a moderate decline in the compressive strength of the low water-binder ratio (W/B) HPC mortar. The modification aimed at void volume (superabsorbent polymers, SAP, and air) applying Bolomey’s formula and Powers’ gel/space ratio developed a suitable fitting into the Powers’ model. This experimental procedure shows feasibility to predict the MCC and RHA outcome on the compressive strength of HPC.

“…Natomiast rozpływ mieszanek cementowych jest zwykle związany ze stosunkiem w/c lub zawartością wody, jednak inne czynniki również mają na nią wpływ. Wielu autorów (10,17,21) Równocześnie wykazano jego większą skuteczność w zwiększaniu rozpływu zaczynu cementowego (20).

Particles spasing of supplementary cementitious materials in binary blended cements

The effect of limestone filler [LF], dolomite filler [DF], metakaolin [MK], and metaillite [MI] additives on the packing density of the binary blended cements were studied using of the water film thickness [WFT] and the optimal water demand [OWD]. The influence of these supplementary cementitious materials [SCM] on the flowability of cement pastes and mortars was analyzed and the compressive strength of mortars was discussed. The results indicate that the incorporation of these SCM on the packing density is highly related to the particle size distribution and the optimal addition of SCM to the blended cements, assures maximum packing density. The effects on flowability not only depend on packing density but of the surface area of particles and the addition of SCM enhance the compressive strength of the mortars.

“…In this respect, thermally transformed illite-based clay presents a viable option as SCM in HPC due to the global availability, economic and circular economy attributes [9] and little effects on water demand and 28-day compressive strength [10], among others. Illite is a 2:1 structured aluminosilicate clay mineral sandwich of silica tetrahedron (T)-alumina octahedral (O)-silica tetrahedron (T) layers in the mica family [11].…”

“…The authors reported improved compressive strength at 15-20% content of the calcined bentonite clay. Finally, Marchetti et al [10] demonstrated the applicability and performance of illite calcined clay thermally activated at a temperature of 950 • C on a low-energy mortar. The authors' findings revealed an enhanced packing density and compressive strength of mortar at a later age.…”

Effect of KyAl4(Si8-y) O20(OH)4 Calcined Based-Clay on the Microstructure and Mechanical Performances of High-Performance Concrete

et al. 2021

The work described in this paper has been performed to determine the potential use of meta-illite (KyAl4(Si8-y) O20(OH)4) calcined clay (MCC) as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in a binary Portland cement (PC) for high-performance concrete (HPC) production. To obtain the properties of the cementitious materials, the chemical composition, mineral phases, morphology, calcination efficiency and physical properties were quantitatively analysed using the advanced techniques of X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray (SEM/EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared/attenuated total reflection (FTIR/ATR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), laser particle sizing and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) nitrogen absorption method. The MCC’s effect on the workability and mechanical properties (compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strengths) and microstructure (morphology and crystalline phases) of hardened MCC-based HPCs were determined. The XRF result shows that the oxide composition of MCC confirmed the pozzolanic material requirements with recorded high useful oxides content. At the same time, the SEM image presents particles of broad, solid masses with a wider surface area of irregular shape. The XRD results show that the MCC was majorly an illite-based clay mineral calcined at a maximum temperature of 650 °C, as revealed by the TGA. The MCC addition increases the slump flow of HPCs at 5–15% cement replacement. The MCC incorporation at 10% cement replacement best improved the porosity of HPCs at a later age resulting in increased mechanical and microstructural properties of tested samples. Therefore, it is recommended that MCC addition within 10% cement replacement be adopted for low W/B Class I HPC at no deleterious results on mechanical and microstructural properties of the concrete.
