ABSTRACT

This study examines the physical properties as well as the mineralogical property of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement ( ) by investigating the effect of Replacement of Cement with Clay at Calcination temperatures of 600, 700 and 800 in relation to the various compressive strength values gotten for 3days, 7days, 14dyas and 28days strength respectively.

This was done by doing a 50% partial replacement of cement with limestone, Clay and gypsum, which were calcined at 600, 700°C and 800 in oven and the results were compared with OPC.

The results show that the strength of 13.37Mpa mortar strength of   Uzebba 800 ( ) is lower to the strength of the OPC at the 28th day which was 21.95Mpa.

The results show that the strength of 27.16Mpa Concrete Strength of  Uzebba 800 ( ) is lower to the strength of the OPC at the 28th day which was 36.76Mpa, but speculating an increase in strength at the 90th day to almost equate the strength of OPC.

This study will generally incorporate the Design aspects for sustainability which includes; Green design, Eco-design and sustainable product design. (Cambridge University, 2012).
