LC3

Low-clinker concrete formulation:
LC³-25, LC³-30, LC³-35, LC³-50.
Design of structural concrete mixes of different strength classes:
from C25/30 to C60/75.
Design of structural concrete mixes with low binder content:
reduction of binder content -> reduction of CO2 emissions. Moving from prescriptive-based standards to performance-based standards.
Life Cycle Analysis (LCA):
evaluation of CO₂ emission of low-clinker and low-binder LC³ concrete.
Mechanical properties of LC³ concrete:
compressive strength, tensile strength, bending test.
Long-term mechanical properties of LC³ concrete:
shrinkage, compressive creep, tensile creep.
Up-scale mechanical testing on LC³ reinforced concrete:
bending and creep test on real-scale beams.
Durability properties of LC³ concrete:
Chloride Penetration, Carbonation, Sulphate attack.
Workability of LC³ concrete:
improving workability and new test methods.
