  2. Pozzolan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pozzolan

    Natural pozzolana (volcanic ash) deposits situated in Southern California in the United States. Pozzolans are a broad class of siliceous and aluminous materials which, in themselves, possess little or no cementitious value but which will, in finely divided form and in the presence of water, react chemically with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2) at ordinary temperature to form compounds possessing ...

  3. Pozzolana - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pozzolana

    Pozzolana from Mount Vesuvius volcano, Italy. Pozzolana or pozzuolana (/ ˌ p ɒ t s (w) ə ˈ l ɑː n ə / POT-s(w)ə-LAH-nə, Italian: [potts(w)oˈlaːna]), also known as pozzolanic ash (Latin: pulvis puteolanus), is a natural siliceous or siliceous-aluminous material which reacts with calcium hydroxide in the presence of water at room temperature (cf. pozzolanic reaction).

  4. Energetically modified cement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energetically_modified_cement

    An EMC made from volcanic rocks (Luleå, Sweden, 2020). Energetically modified cements (EMCs) are a class of cements made from pozzolans (e.g. fly ash, volcanic ash, pozzolana), silica sand, blast furnace slag, or Portland cement (or blends of these ingredients). [1]

  5. Roman concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_concrete

    The high silica composition of Roman pozzolana cements is very close to that of modern cement to which blast furnace slag, fly ash, or silica fume have been added. The strength and longevity of Roman 'marine' concrete is understood to benefit from a reaction of seawater with a mixture of volcanic ash and quicklime to create a rare crystal ...

  6. Pozzolanic activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pozzolanic_activity

    Mechanical evaluation of the pozzolanic activity is based upon a comparison of the compressive strength of mortar bars containing pozzolans as a partial replacement for Portland cement to reference mortar bars containing only Portland cement as binder. The mortar bars are prepared, cast, cured and tested following a detailed set of prescriptions.
