Utilization of Limestone as Mineral Admixture in Cement and ConcreteLI Yue1,DING Qing-jun2,HU Shu-guang2 (1.School of Architecture and Civil Engineering,Beijing University of Technology,Beijing 100022,China;2.School of Materials Science and Engineering,Wuhan University of Technology,Wuhan 430070,China)In this paper,a kind of limestone compound active agent(LCAA),which can greatly increase the strength of blended limestone cement was introduced.For example,52.5 MPa clinker can generate 42.5 MPa cement containing 30% limestones by mass when LCAA was used in the cement.Simultaneously,LCAA also had good effects on the strength increment of limestone mineral admixture concrete.Moreover,the shrinkage property of concrete was obviously decreased by adding lime stone admixture.Therefore,limestone had good future as mineral admixture in cement and concrete.limestone powder;limestone active agent;cement and concrete;shrinkage
