Effect of Siliceous Pozzolanic Additives on the Hydration Process of Cement

Article Preview

Abstract:

The given study investigates the influence of pozzolanic admixtures both micro- and nanosize silica and biomass ashes on microstructure and properties of hydration process of cement paste. The investigations were carried out by - XRD, SEM and FTIR. Pozzolanic activity of the concrete admixtures strongly depends on their chemical composition, content of reactive silica as well as the specific surface area. The micro- and nanosilica pozzolanic additives demonstrated the higher values of pozzolanic activity. Those activate the process of mineralization and are acting both as the cementitious admixture as well as the fine filler.
