Enhancing Early-Age Strength of Low-Clinker Limestone Calcined Clay Cement Using Sodium Carbonate and Chemical Accelerators

While limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 50%, low early-age strength in low-clinker formulations limits its structural adoption. This study investigates practical strategies to accelerate early strength development in low-clinker LC3 mortars (c...
