Quantifying Portland-Limestone Cement Chemical and Physical Characteristics Affecting Concrete Quality

The benefits of this work will assist in developing high-quality concrete and long-term durability, which is needed to provide a resilient transportation infrastructure. The adoption of low-carbon transportation materials offers many challenges and opportunities for success. This work presents the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) the chance to influence the adoption of low-carbon materials that reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout New Mexico, aligning itself with U.S. Federal goals of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
