SESSION 27 - INNOVATIVE CEMENTITIOUS MATERIALS
Towards Innovative Cementitious Materials
Larry Sutter, Professor Emeritus and Research Professor, Materials Science and Engineering, Michigan Tech
Several innovative cementitious materials are entering the market to support low carbon concrete initiatives. Users should be assured that these materials can produce the required concrete properties. This presentation will discuss some of the types of materials and efforts to develop standards to evaluate and permit their use. The talk will also cover ongoing research, demonstration projects, and federal funding for new cementitious materials.
Product Spotlight - Titan America
Advancements in Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3)
Eric Koehler, Vice President, Innovation and Product Quality, Titan America
This presentation will describe how SCMs, and particularly new and emerging SCMs, contribute to decarbonizing concrete. It will focus on Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) and discuss how new technologies and industrial deployments are advancing the state-of-the art. Recommendations will be given for implementing calcined clay across the concrete construction value chain.
