Abstract
Substituting cement with fillers is crucial to formulate cost-effective cementitious materials with low CO2 emissions. However, despite limestone, there is a lack of knowledge of fillers from other mineralogical sources for use in cementitious pastes. This study investigates the effects of characteristics of fillers from 6 mineralogical sources on the reactivity and compressive strength of the cementitious pastes, which could allow increasing industrial possibilities. The filler density and the paste total bound water content allowed to determine the paste porosity, which has a much better fit with the compressive strength than the water-binder ratio.
