Abstract
In this paper, two durability issues: Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR) and external sulfate attack were studied. The results of expansion were presented for a Normal Portland cement and a blended cement LC3 containing calcined clay and limestone as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). The systems containing SCMs did not expand after several years of exposure showing a high resistance to ASR and sulfate attack.
