This article reviews the rapidly developing state-of-the-art literature available on the subject of the recently developed limestone calcined clay cement (LC³). An introduction to the background leading to the development of LC³ is first discussed. The chemistry of LC³ hydration and its production are detailed. The influence of the properties of the raw materials and production conditions are discussed. The mixture design of concrete using LC³ and the mechanical and durability properties of LC³ cement and concrete are then compared with other cements. At the end the economic and environmental aspects of the production and use of LC³ are discussed. The paper ends with suggestions on subjects on which further research is required.

本文回顾了有关最近开发的石灰石煅烧粘土水泥 (LC ³ )主题的快速发展的最新文献。首先讨论导致 LC ³开发的背景介绍。详细介绍了LC ³水合的化学过程及其生产过程。讨论了原料性能和生产条件的影响。然后将使用 LC ³的混凝土混合物设计以及 LC ³水泥和混凝土的机械和耐久性性能与其他水泥进行比较。最后 LC ³生产和使用的经济和环境方面进行了讨论。论文最后对需要进一步研究的主题提出了建议。
