Physical characterization methods for supplementary cementitious materials [PDF]
Materials and Structures, 2014 The main supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) that are used today are industrial by-products. In most cases the quality of these materials cannot be controlled during their production, resulting in materials with varied characteristics. The adequate physical characterization of SCMs is important to better predict their performance and optimize ...

Vegetable ashes as Supplementary Cementitious Materials [PDF]
Cement and Concrete Research, 2018 [EN] Approximately 140 billion metric tons of biomass are produced every year in the world from agriculture. The ashes resulting from firing agricultural wastes such as rice husk, sugar cane and others can be used as Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM). They can be mixed with lime alone or in ternary mixtures with Portland cement and lime.
