Flow of wet natural pozzolana [PDF]
We present experimental results on the flow and stability conditions for natural pozzolana, a natural volcanic sand widely used in concrete production. We measured different angles involved in equilibrium conditions for sand piles and relate them to the flux parameters necessary to produce a silo evacuation.

Modeling the cementitious effect of the Pozzolana on the compressive strength of concrete
The natural Pozzolana is a siliceous material (SiO2) that reacts with the calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 produced during the hydration period of the cement; this inherent feature increases the cementitious property of the grout and improves the compressive ...

Physical effects of natural pozzolana on alkali-activated slag cement
The alkali-activated slag (AAS) cement is an interesting building material, confronting to the new economical and ecological challenges. In order to enhance its physical properties in comparison with ordinary Portland cement (OPC), we used natural pozzolana as a mineral addition.

The influence of natural pozzolana mineralogical composition in the properties of blended cement
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 ...
