Since the climate problem getting severe, carbon neutrality is rising global issue. The limestone powder addition that can substitute clinker in cement is look forward to get positive effect as filler. This study focus on the effect of limestone powder chemical characteristic on mortar workability and compressive strength. Consequently, regardless of type of limestone and subsitution amount, the compressive strength was lower then OPC. But the workability of limestone composite cement showed higher then OPC. Considering latter strength development, using unit water decreasing effect of limestone composite cement is planned further.

Utilizing admixture, which is one of the raw material replacement method in the cement industry, is expected to be easily and quickly put to practical use as it is relatively more accessible than other methods. Among cement admixtures, limestone powder is reported to be able to improve cement performance through nucleation effects, chemical effects, and filler effects, so it is a material expected to be suitable as a cement admixture. Meanwhile, as high-quality limestone is depleted around the world, the use of limestone with clay or high magnesia (MgO) content is becoming increasingly inevitable. Therefore, in this study, we attempted to evaluate the suitability of limestone cement as a admixture by measuring the basic properties of limestone cement mixed with limestone of different qualities commonly used in Korea. As a result, the effect of alite reaction promotion was confirmed regardless of the chemical composition of the limestone binder. However, the dilution effect depending on the substitution amount was greater than the chemical composition. It is believed that normal-grade limestone can be used as a mixture as long as the limestone content in cement is within 15 % in this scope of study. In the future, we plan to evaluate the impact of the chemical composition of the limestone mixture through additional experiments depending on the chemical composition of cement.

In order to reduce carbon dioxide emission in construction industry, less amount of cement use can be one of the alternatives to manufacture concrete. One of the non-sintered construction materials are limestone, which is the raw material to manufacture ordinary Portland cement(OPC). A large amount of limestone have already been used as binders such as blended cement in Europe and US. Even European countries were already established the standard of blended cement, where the limestone can be used up to 35 percent. In this study, experimental researches were conducted to investigate the effects of limestone replacement on the mechanical properties and durability of concrete with 15%, 25% and 35% of limestone substitution to use limestone in blended cement. 15 percent use of limestone in blended cement developed equivalent or even higher compressive strengths compared to Plain mixture. Porosity of limestone cement with 15 percent substitution was much lower than Plain mixture. Most durability tests such as concrete carbonation, freeze-thaw cycle and drying shrinkage strains were conducted to evaluate long-term performance, and the test results indicated that 15 percent of limestone use did not significantly influence on the concrete durability compared with plain concrete.

In this study, hydration properties of ordinary Portland cement were examined, shown from a limestone and blast furnace slag alone or their mixture up to 10% as a minor mineral additives. As of setting time, it was identified that final setting became faster as the amount of limestone mixture increased, which showed limestone accelerated early hydration faster than blast furnace slag. This is because limestone did accelerate the hydration of alite. At the age of 3 days, limestone 5%-blast furnace slag 5% mixture had the highest compressive strength of mortar. It is because hydration acceleration of alite by limestone, and $Ca(OH)_2$ that was additionally formed by hydration acceleration of alite reacted with blast furnace slag, and as a result, additionally created C-S-H hydrate. Regarding the hydration properties by the age of 7 and 28 days, limestone 3%-blast furnace slag 7% of composited mixture showed the largest compressive strength, and in comparison with the 3 days in curing age. This period is when hydration reaction of blast furnace slag is active and the amount of hydrate depends on the amount of blast furnace slag mixture more than that of the limestone mixture. And in order to vitalize hydration reaction of blast furnace slag the amount of $Ca(OH)_2$ created has to increase, and thus, a small amount of limestone is necessary that can accelerate the hydration of alite. Therefore, after the age of 7 days, the fact that there were a large amount of blast furnace slag mixture and small amount of limestone mixture was effective to the strength development of ordinary Portland cement.

Using the limestone powder as material that can alternate the clinker, it seems to get positive effect as filler and enhance workability of cement, but the amount of replacement can affect compressive strength of cement. This study was evaluated the effect of limestone mixed cement fineness and SO₃ content on cement mortar. As a result of measuring the compressive strength, it showed 93% compared to the compressive strength of Plain 28 days at fineness 4,400 and SO₃ 2.6%. It is judged that additional research is necessary to express the strength equivalent to that of Plain.

석회석과 고로수재 slag을 1.6 : 1로 혼합 분쇄한 원료를 1,450$^{\circ}C$에서 소결하여 고$C_3A$ clinker를 얻었다. 이 clinker 중에는 $C_3S$ 40$\%$, $C_2S$ 31$\%$, $C_3A$ 22$\%$, $C_4AF$ 2$\%$를 함유하고 있으며 보통 크링카 보다 $C_3A$ 함량이 2$\~$3배 정도 높고, clinker 색은 연두색을 띄는 것이 특색이다. 이와 같이 $C_3A$ 함량이 높은 시멘트의 특성 및 제조 가능성을 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 석회석과 slag를 1.6 : 1(61.5$\%$ : 38.5$\%$)로 사용할 경우 보통 시멘트 제조시 석회석 사용량 보다 약 28$\%$ 정도 절감되나 고품위의 석회석이 요구된다. 2) 동일 free CaO 0.4$\%$를 기준으로 소성할 경우 고$C_3A$ clinker가 보통 clinker 보다 소성 시간이 20분 단축된다. 3) carbonate 분해열을 비교하면 고$C_3A$ 시멘트 원료가 보통 시멘트 원료보다 116Kcal/$\cal{kg}$-cl 절감된다. 4) $C_3A$ 함량이 높아 가소성이 저하되고 표준연도의 시멘트 paste를 얻기 위하여서는 보통 시멘트 보다 많은 물량이 요구되며 응결시간도 빠르다. 5) Blaine 3,000$cm^3$/g으로 분쇄한 고$C_3A$ 시멘트의 3 일강도는 보통 시멘트 보다 40$\~$50$\cal{kg}$/$cm^3$ 더 높으나 28 일 강도는 다소 저하되는 경향이며 Blaine 5,000$cm^2$/g으로 분쇄한 고$C_3A$ 시멘트는 조강 시멘트와 같은 강도 수준이다.
