Effect of three natural pozzolans in portland cement hydration
Natural pozzolans have been used since ancient times and continues to be used today. The chemistry and morphological composition of natural pozzolans and their particle size distribution allows classifying them as more or less reactive pozzolan.

The comparative study of some effects of natural and artificial pozzolans on the hydraulic properties of Portland cement mortar is performed in this work. The natural pozzolan used coming from the Djoungo deposit, Moungo department in the Littoral region (Cameroon) was finely ground and then sieved at 100 μm.

Evaluation of Portland pozzolan blended cements containing diatomaceous earth [PDF]
Clinker replacement by supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is one strategy to reduce CO2 emissions of cement industry. Diatomaceous earth, a natural pozzolan, has been used as SCM.

For several decades, class F fly ash has been an attractive supplementary cementitious material, at least in part, due to its ability to reduce Portland cement consumption and mitigate alkali-silica reactions in concrete. However, fly ash availability is becoming uncertain as the energy industry decommissions coal burning power plants as it transitions

Potential use of natural red mud as pozzolan for Portland cement [PDF]
Red mud, the main waste generated in aluminum and alumina production by the Bayer process, is considered hazardous due to its high pH, according to the Brazilian standard NBR 10004/2004, and worldwide generation of this waste exceeds 117 million tons/year.

Effectiveness of shrinkage-reducing admixtures on Portland pozzolan cement concrete
Drying shrinkage causes tensile stress in restrained concrete members. Since all structural elements are subject to some degree of restraint, drying shrinkage is regarded to be one of the main causes of concrete cracking. The purpose of the present study
