Development of composite cements characterized by low environmental footprint and appreciable performance

This contribution reports on the optimization of the multicomponent CEM II/C-M (S-LL) cement, a cement type which is intended to be introduced with a revised version of the EN 197-1. The replacement of Portland cement clinker has been maximized by a combination of granulated blast-furnace slag and limestone while meeting an adequate cement performance and minimizing its environmental impact
