Editor's Note: This is the final article in a four-part series detailing the types of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) available and the role they play in concrete's strength. To read the third article in the series on silica fume, click here. N atural pozzolans have been used as a cementitious material for thousands of years.
Pozzolano consists of silica material which makes it cheap and hence reduces the cost of the cement making it economical to use. Pozzolana cement has very good resistance against sulphate attack hence is used in hydraulic structures, marine structures, construction near the sea shore, dam construction etc.

Pozzolana and Pozzolanic Cements. Franco Massazza, in Lea's Chemistry of Cement and Concrete (Fourth Edition), 1998. 10.1 Pozzolanas. The term ' pozzolana ' has two distinct meanings. The first one indicates the pyroclastic rocks, essentially glassy and sometimes zeolitised, which occur either in the neighbourhood of Pozzuoli (the ancient Puteoli of the …
Particle size and specific surface are important because they affect reactivity. The particle size distribution of the pozzolans is included in Fig. 1. According to the results, the Metastar, RHA, GGBS and PFA are the finest pozzolans (finer than lime). The MS particles flocculated during the laser analysis on account of their e…
