Concretes with new, clinker-efficient cements

Durability properties

In the next version of DIN EN 197-1, additional standardized clinker-efficient cements will be added with CEM II/C-M and CEM VI. CEM II/C-M cements contain at least 50 M.-% clinker and CEM VI cements, at least 35 M.-%. Other main constituents are limestone, granulated slag, flyash and pozzolan. Various research projects of the German Cement Works Association (VDZ) have investigated the properties of mortars and concretes for which these cements were used.

This presentation investigates the properties of fresh and hardened concrete, as well as durability properties of concretes made with...
