CALCINED CLAY SOIL AS A POTENTIAL REPLACEMENT FOR CEMENTS

This research explores the suitability of calcined clay soil as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to conventional cement in construction. The study of the thermal behaviour of common clay types such as kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite was of key importance for the understanding of more complex locally available soils generally composed of a mixture of clays with companion minerals and impurities. This research consists of a title page, approval page, certification, abstract, list of table, List of abbreviation, Chapters One to Five (from introduction to conclusion), and references.
