Synergistic effects of limestone calcined clay cement on alkalinity, mechanical performance, and vegetative compatibility of ecological concrete

Key Points

• Ecological concrete demonstrates increased mechanical performance and alkalinity with limestone calcined clay cement.
• Mechanical performance improved by 20% when limestone calcined clay cement is used, enhancing structural integrity.
• Assessment of performance using laboratory tests revealed better vegetative compatibility in the ecological concrete samples.
• These findings support the use of limestone calcined clay cement for more sustainable construction in urban areas.
