The influence of natural pozzolana mineralogical composition in the properties of blended cement
Materiales de Construccion, 2002 The pozzolana activity is the main property of the active additions but, in order to select them, we have to consider - between other factors- its mineralogical composition with a great influence, not only in the active component, but also in other ...
