Abstract

Public demand for environmentally friendly solutions for new types of cement with reduced CO₂ emissions is increasing. Consequently, new types of cement must be developed and introduced to the market. This paper presents test results for cement formulations based on calcium fly ash and marly limestone, following the EN 197-5 standard. The clinker content was set at 50% and 60%, with fly ash content at 25% and 35%, while marly limestone content remained fixed at 11%. Due to the use of marly limestone, which lacks pozzolanic properties, the cements were ground to a higher specific surface area to enhance their physical-mechanical properties. The test results show that these cement formulations meet the EN 197-1 standard requirements for specific cement classes.
