Rice husk ash as supplementary cementing material to inhibit the alkali-silica reaction in mortars

open access: yesRevista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2021
: Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is one of the most harmful distress mechanisms that affects the durability of concrete worldwide. Yet, it has been found that ASR-induced expansion and distress may be prevented by the appropriate use of supplementary ...

A new approach to measuring pozzolanicity of Supplementary Cementitious Materials using existing ASTM standards [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) improve the long-term strength and durability of concrete systems through the pozzolanic and/or hydraulic reactions that form additional calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) phases.

Evaluation of Pozzolanic Reactivity of Artificial Pozzolans [PDF]

open access: yesMaterials Science Forum, 2012
Pozzolanicity is a very interesting issue regarding building materials, as a way to enhance mortars and concrete durability. This property results from the reaction between calcium hydroxide and silica and alumina based materials. Different types of natural and artificial pozzolans show pozzolanic activities that differ depending on the materials ...
