Abstract
The most often used mineral admixture in the modern concrete industry is the pozzolan. A pozzolan, and there are many of them, is defined as “siliceous or siliceous and aluminous materials which in themselves possess little or no cementitious value but will, in finely divided form and in the presence of moisture, chemically react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperatures to form compounds possessing cementitious properties” [1]. This chemical reaction between the siliceous and/or siliceous-alumina components in the pozzolan, calcium hydroxide and water is called the pozzolanic reaction.
