CEMENTS WITH LOW WATER DEMAND PRODUCED FROM BASALT (SLAG) STONE RAW MATERIALS AND THE PERFORMANCE OF CONCRETE MIXES AND CONCRETES BASED ON THEM

Abstract

<p>&nbsp;The global shortage of material and energy resources necessitates&nbsp;the efficient use of local raw materials and industrial waste in the construction&nbsp;materials industry. In developed countries, increasing cement production,&nbsp;<br /> incorporating industrial by-products into manufacturing processes, reducing the&nbsp;clinker content in cement without compromising quality, lowering production&nbsp;costs, and improving cement performance are becoming increasingly important.&nbsp;The rising demand for cement has intensified the focus on developing energy-saving&nbsp;<br /> production technologies based on local raw materials and industrial waste.</p>
