Exploring the Potential of Nigerian Clay-Based Pozzolans for Enhancing Concrete Performance and Sustainability: A Study on Strength, Hydration, and Durability

This study investigated the potential of calcined clays from Nigerian deposits in the production of ternary blends of cement. Clay samples were obtained from three different locations namely: Ikpeshi, Okpilla and Uzebba. The raw clay samples were then calcined at 700°C and 800°C. Chemical and miner...
