Work Plan for 02/06/2021

The following tests will be conducted

 Cement Consistency test for LC3 (Cement consistency will be found for each of the
proportions of LC3 )
 Flow table test for LC3 (Flow table test will also be performed on each LC3 proportion)
 Initial and Final setting time of control Specimen (OPC)
 Casting of Molds (Depending on Availability of Time)

As we know that the composition of LC3 is 50% clinker, 30% Calcined clay, 15% lime stone and
5% gypsum. But at first for our experiments we will be using OPC as a combination of clinker and
gypsum, the remaining quantity will be consisted of Limestone and calcined clay. The ratio of
calcined clay and limestone will be 2:1. For the ease of work the clay and limestone will be mixed
together which will be having 2 parts of calcined clay and 1 part of limestone. Then this mixture
will be replaced by the amount of cement by weight with 10%,20%,30%,40% and 50%.
For the Cement consistency the following quantity will be used, the test will be carried out
following ASTM standard so that the amount of materials mentioned in ASTM standard will be
used. Following are the quantities of cement and clay+ limestone mixture for different
proportions. Same pastes can be used for Initial and Final setting times.

Proportion Cement (Grams) Clay + Limestone

(Grams)
10% 585 65
20% 520 130
30% 455 195
40% 390 260
50% 325 325
Total 3250 975

Quantity of Materials for Molds Casting

A total of 35 (7 molds for each proportion) molds having dimensions 50*50*50mm will be casted
for determination of compressive strength and water loss. 3 cubes will be used for 7days strength
test, 3 cubes for 28 days strength and 1 cube for determination of water loss from cube over
time. The volume and other quantities are measured using excel sheet and total quantity of each
proportion (i.e 7molds) is given below in table.
