Abstract:
Integrating Type IL cement into construction, while environmentally beneficial, introduces a range of technical difficulties. One primary issue is an inability to consistently achieve the desired compressive strength. Nanoparticle-based admixtures can be used to enhance strength development in mixtures with Type IL cement and higher content of supplementary cementitious materials.
