Abstract

Cement, as one of the most important raw materials in the production of concrete pavements, plays a critical role in the quality and longevity of pavements. the use of ordinary cement, due to its production process, leads to the emission of a significant amount of greenhouse gases and environmental pollutants. This has raised serious concerns about the negative impact of the cement industry on weather changes and climate changes. In response to these concerns and the need to produce cement with minimal environmental impact, limestone calcined clay cement (LC3) has emerged as a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution. This article demonstrates that LC3 cement can be a suitable alternative to ordinary cement in concrete pavements, showing significant potential in this context. Reviews have indicated that, in addition to its environmental benefits, LC3 cement generally improves the mechanical properties and durability of concrete. This present paper reviews the literature on this cement, its components, mechanical properties, durability, environmental advantages, and the feasibility of its use in concrete pavement construction.
