Calcined Clays for Sustainable Concrete

This volume focuses on research and practical issues linked to Calcined Clays for Sustainable Concrete. The main topics are geology of clays, hydration and performance of blended system with calcined clays, alkali activated binders, applications in concrete and mortar, durability of concrete under various aggressive conditions, and economic and environmental impacts of the use of calcined clays in cement based materials.

This book compiles the different contributions of the 2nd International Conference on Calcined Clays for Sustainable Concrete, which took place in La Habana, December 5th-7th, 2017.The papers update the latest research in their field, carried out since the last conference in 2015.

Overall it gives a broad view of research on calcined clays and their application in the field of construction, which will stimulate further research into calcined clays for sustainable concrete.

Acest volum se concentreaza pe cercetare si probleme practice legate de argile calcinate pentru beton durabil. Principalele subiecte sunt geologia argilelor, hidratarea si performanta sistemului amestecat cu argile calcinate, lianti activi alcalini, aplicatii in beton si mortar, durabilitatea betonului in diferite conditii agresive si impactul economic si de mediu al utilizarii argilelor calcinate pe baza de ciment. Aceasta carte compileaza diferitele contributii ale celei de-a doua conferinte internationale privind argile calcinate pentru beton durabil, care a avut loc la La Habana, 5-7 decembrie 2017. Lucrarile actualizeaza cele mai recente cercetari din domeniul lor, efectuate de la ultima conferinta in 2015. In general, ofera o viziune larga asupra cercetarii argilelor calcinate si a aplicarii acestora in domeniul constructiilor, ceea ce va stimula cercetarea ulterioara a argilelor calcinate pentru beton durabil.
