Considerations about the use of lime-cement mortars for render conservation purposes [PDF]
Some investigations about conservation renders points out that Portland cement based mortars should be avoided and should be replaced by lime-pozzolan mortars.

Sustainable infrastructure development through use of calcined excavated waste clay as a supplementary cementitious material [PDF]
Major infrastructure development projects in London produce large quantities of London clay and use significant volumes of concrete. Portland cement (CEM I) in concrete is normally partially replaced by supplementary cementitious materials such as ground

Abstract Overuse of cement and natural sand has damaging impacts on the environment and society. To solve this, manufactured sand can be used in place of natural sand and cement, together with pozzolanic materials—industrial waste byproducts such as metakaolin, GGBFS, silica fume, and fly ash.

Performance characteristics of concrete containing natural and artificial pozzolans
In this research, the effects of natural zeolite (NZ) and rice stalk ash (RSA) as Portland cement replacement materials on properties of cement were investigated using three different combinations (NZ, RSA, NZ+RSA) of tests. These materials were used as substituted for Portland cement in different proportions, and then physical, mechanical and thermal ...
