LC3 Concrete

• Low-clinker concrete formulation:
  LC³-25, LC³-30, LC³-35, LC³-50.
• Design of structural concrete mixes of different strength classes:
  from C25/30 to C60/75.
• Design of structural concrete mixes with low binder content:
  reduction of binder content -> reduction of CO2 emissions. Moving from prescriptive-based standards to performance-based standards. 
• Life Cycle Analysis (LCA):
  evaluation of CO₂ emission of low-clinker and low-binder LC³ concrete.
• Mechanical properties of LC³ concrete:
  compressive strength, tensile strength, bending test.
• Long-term mechanical properties of LC³ concrete:
  shrinkage, compressive creep, tensile creep.
• Up-scale mechanical testing on LC³ reinforced concrete:
  bending and creep test on real-scale beams.
• Durability properties of LC³ concrete:
  Chloride Penetration, Carbonation, Sulphate attack.
• Workability of LC³ concrete:
  improving workability and new test methods.
