What is A Fresh View on Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC^3^) Pastes about?

In this work, the factors controlling the fresh state properties of limestone calcined clay cement (LC^3^) are assessed and compared to Portland and binary cements, extending the scope of previous research by combining rheological measurements with setting time determination and the evaluation of plastic shrinkage by a novel method. Yield stress and elastic modulus are considered indicators for the structural build-up/breakdown process when stress is applied to the system. On the other hand, plastic shrinkage occurs from the mixing to the setting of fresh paste and plays an important role in governing microstructural changes due to settlement and evaporation. Evaluation of the rheological properties with time was appropriate to give an overview of the influence and behavior of different added materials. The elastic modulus of all binders (clinker, LC^3^, clinker–limestone, and clinker–calcined clay) was increased from mixing to 60 min of curing as follows: 5.27 × 10^3^ to 9.50 × 10^5^ Pa, 5.94 × 10^3^ to 9.87 × 10^5^ Pa, 6.89 × 10^3^ to 5.62 × 10^5^ Pa and 7.85 × 10^3^ to 1.27 × 10^6^ Pa, respectively. Moreover, during the first three hours of curing, LC^3^ exhibited a reduction of
