Suitability of Ultra Low Kaolinitic Clay in Precast Concrete
Wisdom Asotah, a Senior Researcher and Materials Scientist here at the Materials Processing Institute will be displaying at poster at the 43rd Cement & Concrete Science Conference next week.
The title of the poster is: Suitability of Ultra Low Kaolinitic Clay in Precast Concrete
The poster details research undertaken to investigate the effect of 50% Ordinary Portland Cement replacement in the precast concrete matrix. The poster outlines the materials and research methods adopted, the results of this research, it provides a discussion around the results and concludes by looking at implications for decarbonisation efforts, particularly in precast concrete manufacture.
The conference is relevant to researchers working on cement and concrete science and anyone interested in finding out the latest research in this increasingly important area of technology.
The conference will give an overview of current research on cement and concrete with the following conference themes:
• Sustainable cementitious materials
• Cement manufacture and low-carbon technologies
• Special cements
• Hydration reactions and mechanisms
• Microstructure, mineralogy, and properties of cementitious systems
• Concrete durability of high-volume cement replacement systems
• Transition pathways to net-zero
• Interaction of cement with aggregates and steel
• Performance of non-ferrous reinforcement in concrete
