Abstract

Ensuring sustainability of printable concretes while complying with the complex requirements to their rheological properties in the fresh state is challenging yet absolutely essential. In this context, the limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) is of high relevance. In the study at hand, the structural build-up of LC3 paste was investigated by using the single batch testing approach. Two different calcined clays (CC), one from India and one from Germany, were studied, which were characterized by 58 and 66% amorphous phase, respectively. Both CCs enhanced the static yield stress of the cementitious materials, showing benefits of their use for digital concrete construction. However, the structural build-up of LC3 made with Indian CC was significantly more pronounced in comparison with that made of the German CC. Most likely, such quick and intense structural build-up can be attributed to the presence of kaolinite in the Indian CC which interacts with the high-range water-reducing admixture used in a particular way.
